[TriLUG] Dell 2400 and Linux

[David A. Cafaro]

I have a Dell 2400 with RH7.2 and it seems to have no problems.  I made 
sure I didn't delete the Dell partition, and I had Grub stick it's boot 
loader in the MBR.  On fdisk it marks the dell partition as the boot 
device.  I haven't tried using the dell tools so I don't know if they are 
broken, but Linux boots fine (and stable).  Running RH 7.2 + RH updates, 
MySQL, Tomcat, Apache, 1.5 Gigs Memory, and 4 18gig SCSI HDs, and a single 
PIII.  Unfortunately, I can't take the system down at the moment to test 
out the dell tools.
