Compaq Proliant 4500 video setup

[tw408]

I just accquired one of these old dinasaurs - the video is 14 slots, not 15. Is there an adapter that will work with modern monitors/cables/pinouts?

Also, what has anyone been able to get to run on these boxes??

I am hoping to get Ubuntu or Fedore Core going.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by 14 and 15 slots? I can't seem to get the onboard video to work, but put in a PCI video card, and it is working, of course the first video card didn't, so I put another in and it's up and running. I have a proliant 3000 about the same vintage (I think), and I have Fedora core 4 installed and running.
