Phoenix (please say no), AMI, > other ? *** I have tried exactly this model few days ago. 2.2.5-RELEASE installs smoothly, so I mean newer versions also. This box haves Intel Etherexpress 10/100B card (a good one), but only narrow SCSI interface (AIC-7860 chip) and an 4,3GB HP disk. Unfortunately HP modified Phoenix BIOS is the brand ;-). For servers I suggest wide SCSI but this depends what you serve, certainly. Very ordinary pc based server as I can say.
