Use FC3 or higher on Dell Poweredge Servers. I use the exact same setup you have and it
works very well. Hardware raid will not work however.
I began with FC3 and since have since updated straight to FC5 nicely.

Probably it is then best to get CentOS 3, which is an RHEL3 "clone".
RHEL3 is based on ancient Red Hat Linux 9 and thus any Fedora release
will be more or less different.
Is the intended hardware RHEL3 certified? It then will run using CentOS
3 too.
I was wondering if older distros (like FC2 or those based on RH9)
would support the likes of SATA drives.
