Hi

I need to set up one such machine as a Debian-based server. What would
you recomend - going 64 bit with debian-amd64, or sticking to ia32?
This is a rack server, nobody's going to use it as a desktop so I
don't care about compat with openoffice etc., it will be doing dhcp,
nfs, remote boot , .. for a farm of diskless workstations - so I'm
mostly concerned about solid network operation and good support for
the onboard RAID controller.

nb. the box is descibed at
