I tried installing Fedora Core 5 on a Dell Poweredge 1850 with Perc 4e/si raid at work today. Unfortunately the driver (megaraid) seems to have a bug that causes the system to crash. Im not alone in the problem and it seems others have had the same thing happen.

Im going to give Ubuntu a try to see if I can avoid switching back to Debian. Not that I dont like Debian, but it is just a big pain to get things set up.

Update: I got Ubuntu installed and it works like a dream. I expected this since it is built on debian. It is much easier to manage and is better documented. The community is a lot less 1337 than the Debian community. It makes it a lot easier to get help when linux is not your full time job / life.
