Dell Servers Linux.

Anybody point me in the direction of a live linux download I lost the thread...:o
Just got hold of two Dell severs PowerEdge 2300 and 2400, but they have been gutted and have no HDD's. Seeing as I dont have a SCSI HDD I was intending using the live CD to see if they were working.

    I'm gonna rip the rest of the SCSI stuff out and stick it in me desktop I recon. Its gonna cost a fortune to get drive bays HDD's Memory etc. etc.
    There was a fast wide host that should be more than capable of running a couple of optical drives, zips and tapes. I will stick with my 3g SATA HDD's till I win the lottery......:D
