Dell Optiplexes and Linux

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] ecosse.net>]

I`ve got a chance to get hold of some old(ish) Dell Optiplex 425`s for 50 quid
a pop, with monitors, however I was just wondering if anyone out there knows
just how easy it`ll be to install Redhat 6.1 onto these machines.

Optiplexes have builting Ethernet, sound and possibly graphics as well, and
I`m concerned these will not be supported.

Right now I`ve got no idea exactly what chipsets are used to give all the
onboard functions.
Come to think of it, I`ve got no idea of the spec of the 425 - apart from the
fact they run Pentiums (I) of some speed.

Any comments?

Cheers, and happy holidays everyone.

Baz.
