(SOLVED)Does CentOS 7 work on the Dell R900 server?(SOLVED)

I want to install some form of Linux on my, "new," server and I wondered if my server model was supported by CentOS 7.

I apologize, I do not currently have the specifications, it's late and I shouldn't dare to boot it up and risk waking everyone up just to find out the hardware.

I would expect CentOS 7 to just work on a Dell R900 though that is quite an old machine (even if it is massive and powerful). I was using R900's back in about 2008/2009 or so.

For my old server do you have any OS recommendations or should my server run fairly well on CentOS.

Thanks for the help.

Also, is there a thank button like there is in some other forums?

CentOS 7 ought to run OK on an R900. I'd not use CentOS 6 for a new install any more as it is in its final support phase before it goes EOL in 2.5 years so only receives updates for critical security problems.
