    Justin,

    I am running RH 9.0 and RH 2.1 ES on DL380 servers. RH 9.0 had no problems
    at all. Everything is running fine.

    However on RH2.1 ES, we ran into issues with network connectivity being
    lost, and the machine stopping to respond.
    The fix was listed in "HP/Compaq Customer Advisory Number: CO030310 CW02"
    Take a look at it. That might help.

    http://wwss1pro.compaq.com/support/reference_library/viewdocument.asp?source=CO030310_CW02.xml&dt=3
    and
    http://wwss1pro.compaq.com/support/reference_library/viewdocument.asp?source=CO030310_CW01.xml&dt=3

    I would suggest using RH 9.0 . So far I had no issues with it.
