We have RHEL 4.0 on all the DL 585s in our lab as well as the DL580s 
(EM64T). We also have it deployed on a number of systems in TestDrive. You 
can go to www.testdrive.hp.com to sign up for a free account. Tim maintains 
a list of systems, what hardware and what software they are running. Note 
that we also have the Intel compiler installed on all of the Intel based 
systems.

We've also got Debian, SLES9, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Tru64, and Hp-UX online.
