Ask the Dell salesdroid or salesmail if those boxen will work with Linux.
They will probably quote some RH or another, but if it's in the kernel you
can use it with any distro :). If they only claim RH enterprise something
then you might want to verify that the drivers are available from
kernel.org.
Does RH ship with proprietary drivers? Is that something to check into as
well?
