What's weak about it? Dell advertises that their hardware
supports 64-bit linux, this person wants to run just 64-bit
linux without some compatibility garbage and has come to the
realization that no, they don't fully support 64-bit linux
because their management software doesn't support it and
that's because it's not open source and the company that
writes the device drivers is lame. This is the same
crap we had to deal with with the old PERC2 on the Dell
2xxx-series servers when there was only a proprietary Adaptec
aacraid driver that was tied to specific kernel versions.
What's weak is Dell's support for 64-bit linux.
