Can anyone relate experience(s) installing CentOS on Compaq rack mount servers units please?

Easy no problem, easy some issues, or ghastly do not do it under any circumstances... ;)

Basically, I'm looking at some used/refurb dual PIII units and will run RAID on Compaq built in SCSI or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them?

I've not used CentOS per se, but I've done a half-dozen Red Hat and Fedora Core installations on DL380s -- some from prior with the merger with HP, some post-merger -- and everything has always just worked. The Smart Array cards produce very solid performance. I love the DL3XX product line.
