Actually, some of the PERC cards are problems under Linux on Dell. The PERC 5/i was particularly notorious for having issues. There are some driver updates that were supposed to help, but they didn't always.

EDIT: I should add that not ALL perc cards are issues and not even all PERC 5/i's had issues. But there are a greater number than others. Also, I never checked if they had issues on Windoze too.
