It would be really nice if someone could advice on this.I am planning to purchase DELL Poweredge-R230 server.I want to know whether this server supports opensource OS like CentOS or Ubuntu.In dell website its showing that it will support enterprise level OS.Anyone having this server with Centos or Ubuntu installed.
I have a few Dell PowerEdge servers running CentOS 6.8, not that model number but R310's and R610's. I don't think would be any differences that would cause problems.
A co-worker has a bunch of PowerEdges, not sure what model they are but he is running Ubuntu with the latest LTS version.

Dell's own spec sheets clearly say it supports Red Hat Enterprise and Suse Enterprise. Since CentOS is essentially a clone of RHEL, there should be no problems. Did you try to look this up, or ask your Dell salesperson????
