Ironically back around 2007 we had to use RHEL to get DRBD setup for the Redhat HA / Pacemaker things
I once installed a Sun workstation with AMD processor (Athlon64?) and nForce (4?) chipset. The ethernet card was there but it didn't initialize, why? Because RedHat EOLd the kernel module. Why? Because.
Reinstalled the thing with Debian after fighting it for 30 minutes or so, and the thing worked happily ever since.
