No I use RedHat Entreprise Linux 3 and not Debian or Mandrake
And I guess Dell Linux Support team will help me to resolve this
problem.

Some months ago, I installed MegaMon on a Debian box (Sarge, custom 2.4
kernel).
But that horrible thing just ate all the cpu (about 100%). This was the
worst app I saw since ages! Really impressive how bad it is. Never
again, thanks.

Simple : you install it, run it, get horrified, then uninstall it really
quickly.
Next, you promised yourself to never touch it again and sleep much
better :p

More seriously, using Dell tools on non RedHat-likes distribs (ex
Debian) is not officially supported by Dell afaik, which is soo bad
(many many boxes on the net are running Debian [1]). I guess you are not
running RedHat or Suze, but perhaps Debian or Mandrake ?

The (soon coming?) OMSA 5.0 will finally use recent kernel.org drivers,
which, I hope, will improve things and make it easier to run it on all
Linux boxes.
But I fear that installing OMSA on Debian won't be much easier than
before, because the pre/post scripts in the rpm packages aren't small
:-(
