Well today at work we just got a brand new V20z by SUN, it's a dual 248 opteron system, dual 10K 73GB SCSI drives, a couple gigs of RAM,  and fits in a 1U rack.  Well the person who ordered it forgot to order RHEL 3 with it so we had this really nice box without an OS.  I needed to securely wipe some hard drives and all our other machines are UltraSparc based so < Darik's Boot & Nuke > wouldn't work on them.  I was hoping it would work on the V20z but it failed, so I turned to DSL and it worked flawlessly -- right out of the box.  I had no issues with it at all and hot swapping didn't cause any conflicts.  This is a great little distro!
