Hello all! The advantage of such a nice community base is, that we can share hardware experiences - I still have in mind a community feeded database of compatible and non-compatible hardware for Fedora . I am now in the situation to build and setup a new server system for a client very urgently as the old server hardware seems to die. So I would like to hear that the Intel entry server board I now had a close look at is no problem for the current Linux kernel and Fedora in specific: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/SE7221BK1-E/index.htm Does anybody of you run this board with Fedora Core 3? Any feedback is welcomed. So especially is SATA problem free with the chipset - the RAID function seems to be BIOS supported software/driver RAID only and is no must - and how about the lm_sensors support? I found that the National Semiconductor LM96000 chip should work with the LM85 module, while for the National Semiconductor* PC87427 I didn't found anything. Remote observation of fan radiation and temperatures is needed. Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.0 is supported, but that always means the "costs" to need a specific kernel for the provided drivers & tools. As security update kernel come out more frequently than such driver updates are provided such dependency on non open source / GPL software is hardly acceptable with a system connected to the net 24/7. Any experience based input is apprechiated. Maybe a suggested alternate? Who prefers to stay anonym may mail me personally :) Cheers Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.10-1.770_FC2smp Serendipity 02:42:27 up 2 days, 5:15, load average: 0.54, 0.51, 0.56
