- You made a point that if hardware is supported by a particular kernel
then it doesn't matter which distribution we choose. Does that mean, if a vendor claims that their server is compatible with say Redhat Enterprise Linux 4.0, and I find of kernel version for RHEL 4.0 and install a Debian Linux with same kernel version than everything should work out of the box as happened in case of RHEL 4.0 ?
Hi. Snip out the long older text to the relevant part. For the server setup you should be more concerned with hard disk support especially types of RAID supported. Next important thing is the network card. These 2 things can give you a lot of trouble if not supported properly. You don't need sound or high resol graphics drivers for a server. USB is generally supported easily.
