Hp dc7900

[vmaxx]

I wanted to upgrade my Linux box with an HP dc7900 dual core 3Ghz with the latest Fedora load. I searched the web and seen that a few people have had issues with ACPI and some others with the machine randomly powering off. Has anyone had any issues with Fedora on this hardware or know if Fedora works ok on one of these machines out of the box?

Thanks

I think this is the part where you download Fedora and try it any ways. You can always disable acpi with ease if it starts giving you a hard time, and besides that, if Fedora did release some funky code that doesn't work right, it surely has been patched by now.

I haven't purchased the machine yet. I researched to see if anyone has had issues, I found some posts that did. I wanted to see if anyone has a box like I want that is not having issues before spending $$. I don't want the machine unless it works well with Linux, I have enough machines already. I am hoping any issues have been patched, the machine looks pretty nice.

you use any version of Linux?

I like Fedora and would probably go with the latest version if it works. I am on FC 8 now, which works on my 2Ghz box, but I would like to stay current if I get a new more powerful machine.

You don't need to have the latest and greatest hardware to run Fedora, it helps a lot but is not required.

I finally found a good deal on the box I wanted. Fedora 11 loaded with no problems, sound, video, print, works well. VNCserver gives an error when first launched but works great after that..
