Will this support Ubuntu Desktop? Or will I have to use Ubuntu Server?

You can use either as they both support multiple CPU's (up to 512 on 64 bit). I would install whichever version you feel would most suit your needs.

Colin,The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. The 2950 will support Ubuntu Desktop or Server. They both have multiple CPU support, so it will work fine.

Like your playing games on it or hosting? If u are playing a graphics card along with a riser would be needed, for OS windows. If your hosting you would want the OS to be linux(Ubuntu) and nothing else needed.

No. It doesn't support anything, not even Windows. It has proven to be of very unwanted obstacles during installation. Windows doesn't have native drivers for it.

Its work with all desktop. Just to makesure it has a pci express slot. Thats It !!

Running freenas (freeBSD) on it without problems. Don't see why Linux would be any problem.

Thanks..!!Do you mind my asking what drivers do I need? (Haven't done this before ^_^ )

No idea. I'm using mine for a server that runs "headless" and can be controlled remotely over the network (look up "IPMI"). I had no need to install a video card.

Yes. It works well with Linux (not using GUI). Running CentOS 6.4 as a router and OpenVPN server.

I built servers with the 2 boards i bought. They are rock stable with 8350's in them running vm's, with 32gb's ram in each. I am using on board video

NO it won't. It supports C21 socket CPU's which are designed for running a Server. You would need at least a 450Watt ATX power supply to run this as well. Hope this helps!

It needs the power to function properly... i have not loaded it with server 12 but i dont see why it would not work.

It depends which features you need. It does not have a Linux driver, and does not support all the same features in Mac OS and Windows.

The server will support up to 64GB of RAM maximum, however you would need to install 8 x 8GB Modules. For 32GB you need 8 x 4GB Modules.

The server does not have any OS installed so you can install any OS you want including Debian, CentOS, FreeBSD, Windows Server and etc. Remember the server does not include ANY drives so you have to supply them yourself.

Should work, but mine is being integrated into a thin client by my developers. So I can't say from first hand experience.

I would doubt MS Server 2012 would install as this PC would not meet minimum hardware specifications. The same reason it won't install to a laptop PC.

I don't think you need this piece of hardware for that desktop, since this tray is mostly for servers with hot swappable disks, since it's reachable from the outside, so you can take the disk in or out without turning off or opening your server, as far as I know in that workstation all the disks are internal.
