Well, that's progress anyway!

I guess you could try fedora 20 on the Dell server and see if that makes 
any difference. But yes, confusing. Having been dealing with a high end 
Dell server myself recently (R920), some re-reading of any manuals you 
can find might be useful, we were continually surprised how easy it was 
to have everything configured *slow*... and the detail in the 
manuals...could be better!

Cheers
