The DRAC5 is an abomination to professional computer operators
everywhere.  It runs Linux, and to use the remote VGA console or remote
Virtual Media, you need ActiveX plugins (or a RHEL4-i386-only-XPI).

The DRAC4 is very agreeable.  Pure Java, which works out-of-the-box with
Ports.

Overall, the 9th-gen PowerEdges were sloppy (Revision 1 had serious
instability issues related to PERC5)
