The big three - Solaris, Windows Server 2003, and/or Ubuntu Server. It will 
likely be a SAMP, WAMP or LAMP server. I see that the PowerEdge 4400 is not 
specifically listed on the SOlaris HCL, but the 3D/i integrated SCSI RAID 
controller is, so it *should* work.

BTW, anyone interested in some "RAID kits" pulled from PowerEdge 2400s? They 
consist of the RAID "key" and a cache DIMM - I've got a few as we are sending 
a few PE2400s off to meet their maker at $WORK
