A bit OT, but I'm running CentOS-5.6 on this machine (in fact on two of them) and it seems to run perfectly - I've had no problems at all.
Except that I'd like to add a second ethernet port, and am not sure where one can find a card that will fit this machine. As far as I can see, it requires a half-height PCIe card, which seems to be rather a rare animal. (There doesn't seem to be a standard for the backplate.)

or a dual port equivalent http://www.intel.com/products/server/adapters/pro1000pt-dualport/pro1000pt-d...
