Debian / HP Proliant ML350

M.Brice · 09-27-2004, 06:57 PM

I am thinking of purchasing an HP Proliant ML350 server with the intent of running Linux on it. I want to run Debian on it. I cannot seem to find information though regarding how successful or unsuccessful this might be.

The server specs are as follows:

1GB Total PC2700 (1x1GB)

Any info anybody might have regarding this?

unsuccessful for now. im trying to install debian, centos & others on it. Maybe if you change the scsi controller with one, which has a better support it will do just fine, i think.

I have the DL360 G5 and Debian runs perfectly well on it..

did you look at the HP Proliant Linux Server compatibility matrix for Debian ? The ML350 G5 should work fine.

Code:

mail:~# cat /etc/debian_version 
4.0

mail:~# lshw
mail                      
    description: Rack Mount Chassis
