Well, what it ran is a bit sketchy. It came with a W2K server CoA but that looks like it's been peeled from something else. The service tag details on the Dell site say it came with Server 2003, I think. There is no downloads for it on the Dell site, nothing useful anyway, just a couple of disk management utilities.
Not sure if I want to put Linux on it, well, I do want to, just not sure it's the best machine for me to put it on as I know Windows server better. I could build a PXE server, but there's already a network boot server utility for reinstallation on the original media, which would be loads easier if possible.
