I've got some DL380 G3s running older versions, but I don't see anything that would stop FC1 from working there too. No need for any HP drivers yet. I don't have any ML-class data points yet. If you like I can list specific controllers and such on Monday. Let me know if that would be useful. I *am* running the RHEL3 versions of WBEM and SNMP-based Insight management clients without problems, and am even running the RHEL3 version of Insight Manager on an FC1 box with no problems. I've been very happy with the out-of-the-boxness of HP hardware for a while and haven't encountered any surprises with FC1. If you do want to run HP's own drivers, driver recompilation ought to be pretty straightforward, since HP typically offers source RPMs. -Rich -- Rich Lafferty --------------+----------------------------------------------- Ottawa, Ontario, Canada | Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus! http://www.lafferty.ca/ | http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus.html rich@xxxxxxxxxxx -----------+-----------------------------------------------
