I had almost the exact same configuration on a couple of servers months ago. In fact, these systems are a major mainstay of RHEL deployments. I ran RHEL3 U3 and U4 fine on them, detected everything out-of-the-box. Even Fedora Core 3 did too. CentOS kernels should be a 1:1 rebuild of RHEL, so you should see all hardware supported. > I will also running EDA tools like PriteTime, and Magma on > this server. Nice. It's been years since I've had to support leading edge EDA tools (I left the semiconductor industry over 3 years ago). > Does CentOS has any issues with these tools? If they are certified against RHEL3, then they should not. But I have to say I have never run CentOS on my former DL585 systems, just RHEL3 (and FC a few times). -- Bryan J.
