I have several machine from Dell of various models that I got with RHEL3. Since I wanted to know how the machine was set up, I always formatted the discs and reloaded RHEL3. I would download the latest U from RedHat and load from there. I have a Poweredge 460, a Poweredge 700, a Poweredge 2850, and a Poweredge 850. I am happy with the offering from Dell. I don't take advantage of their support all that much, as my needs are small and I google alot, but when I called in with a dead drive issue, there was a new one on my desk the next day.
