Has anyone sucessfully installed Ubuntu on a PE 2650

[Mansell, Gary]

Hi,

I have a spare Powerdege 2650 knocking around and I would like to use it
to configure it as a Linux Terminal Server.

I propose to install Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn), or if there are problems
with this release then 6.10 (Edgy Eft), and then configure it manually
as a Linux Terminal Server.

Has anyone successfully installed either version of Ubuntu on a PE 2650
and where there any issues that had to be overcome? I am wondering if
the Perc 3/di is likely to be a problem and if so is there someway of
inserting a special driver for it at install time?

Any help gladly received.

Regards

Gary Mansell
