Its certified on RHEL3 of course, but I've never tried installing Fedora on it. As someone else mentioned, make sure you've got the 64bit version of Fedora! FC2-x86_64-disc1.iso FC2-x86_64-disc2.iso FC2-x86_64-disc3.iso FC2-x86_64-disc4.iso What problems were you encountering exactly? You may be able to find more help if you describe the faults. If you are just looking to learn if other people are running Fedora on this system, you might try mailing Linux-PowerEdge@xxxxxxxx (subscribe at http://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo), as you don't seem to be getting much of a response yet here.
