Does anyone have any experience with this combo (DL360 G5 / P400i)? We have around 20 machines like that and they work beautifully. We run 7.0/amd64 on the machines now, but we have run 6.2/i386 in the past and that work fine - though you will only be able to use the first 3.5 gig of RAM. > Furthermore, anyone run 7.0 on this? Or should I still stick with We run 7.0 on these machines and it works fine - I always prefer 7.0 to 6.3 on SMP machines as it performs better. Also 7.0 works well with the iLO on these machines - I seem to recall when I installed 6.X that it didn't work too well and I had to use boot floppy images. I'd say go for 7.0 and amd64 if you can. -pete.
