* If you install Windows Server 2003 Web Edition using Dell Systems
Build and Update Utility Internet Information Server (IIS) is
installed by default. You should choose NT File System (NTFS) to
ensure all of IIS components install correctly.
* If your platform supports Windows HPC 2008 or Windows HPC 2008 R2
editions, select Windows 2008 (64 bit) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit)
respectively on the "Configure Server OS Installation" page, and
use the appropriate Windows media when prompted.
To find if your platform supports these Windows editions, see

USER NOTES FOR RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEMS
======================================================================
* At least 14.1 GB disk space is required to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux.
* If you use the "Download RPMs from Network" feature, the RPMs are
downloaded to the partition called "/home." The recommended size for
this partition is 3 GB plus the size of the RPMs you want to update.
All downloaded RPMs are installed during the post install phase of
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer.
* Entering a double quote character (") in the "Root Password" field
of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation will result in denial
of access to the root "log in."
* Systems Build and Update Utility limits the maximum block device
size on a Linux system to 8 TB.
* A network download of RPMs requires that the target system have a
DHCP IP address and that the system is connected to a network.
* While configuring the hard drive on a system to install a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux operating system, if the hard drive space on your
system is used completely and the range specified in the GUI against
the "swap" partition is the same (for example [1024 -1024] MB), the
scroll bar remains to the left side.
