[nycbug-talk] Dell server

[Pete Wright]

I've been running Free6.x on the 2650 with no issues.  I believe the main
difference is the fact that the 2650 uses the bge NIC and the 2850 uses
the em NIC.  I personally have had mixed results with the em driver
(works great on my IBM thinkpad...not too good on an IBM e325 1U
server).
