Can anyone pls tell me if a ThinkServer TS130 with a E3-1225 Xeon processor
is compatible with CentOS 6.0? I would like to upgrade from 5.6 but my
hardware will not allow me to do so.

I just want to make sure CentOS 6.0 would have the necessary drivers for the
on board video, ethernet, etc., for the TS130 before I make the purchase. I
just don't want to be in the same boat as I'm in now.

I have bought a PC in eight years so I just want to make sure its going to
run 6.0.

Thanks,

Eddie

Not absolutely sure about this, but I think E3-series is very
close to 2nd generation i3/i5/i7.

A while ago I installed CentOS 6.0 to Acer 7550 laptop that
uses integrated Intel HD Graphics of i5 CPU.
All I got with 6.0 kernels was vesa 1024x768 resolution. I
found out 6.1 shoud fix this. Since CentOS 6.1 wasn't out
then, I installed kernel from Scientific Linux 6.1 (another
RHEL clone) and theafter I got very nice graphics -and
high-resolution console also in runlevel 3 to my CentOS 6 laptop.

So, I would say 6.0 doesn't support Intel graphics of that
CPU, but 6.1 should do it. Don't know about network etc, but
at least it fixes the graphics -I guess that server uses
integrated graphics since they've chosen a CPU that has it.

It looks like the TS130 is a scaled down version of the TS430.
The RedHat hardware certification catalog shows the TS430 as
certified for 5.6 and 6, so it looks promising.

It looks like HP also has certified hardware on RHEL with the
C206 chipset.

Caveat Emptor of course. I have no direct or conclusive
information on the TS130.
