Debian and Dell
Dell doesn't officially endorses Debian, but it supports Ubuntu for PCs which is based on Debian. For servers support you have to decide case by case. Most of the hardware will work but there are reports that The three PowerEdge components that cause the most difficulty for new Debian sysadmins are the PERC 5 SAS RAID controllers (megaraid_sas driver), the SAS 5 non-RAID controllers (mptsas driver), and the Broadcom gigabit network adapters (bnx2 driver).
There is a Dell and Debian iso that has most of the new hardware drivers for woody/sarge, so potential Dell users should investigate which hardware would be required to do additional work on.
