  The 2950-III, and 1950-III both have Intel 10GbE controller options. 
Last I checked Dell supports the latest RHEL 5 release on it.  Also RHEL
4.(what is the latest) should work.  As should SLES, and any up to date
version of linux.  Of course the 10G card will x2-3 the price of the
system.  The intel 10G is in the mainline kernel.
