They don't come with any OS installed. All the documentation and CD's that
come with it are geared up for Solaris and Linux builds. We won't be using
them for our Unix farm, they are going to be tested for our W2K XP farm.
What I really like with them so far is the hardware management linux OS that
runs on them. It should mean that if Windows blue screens I can shell into
the management OS on the box and reboot the hardware. All from the comfort
of my seat! At least I think this is possible.

I just hope the server building goes smoothly.
