The Dell Linux forums are usually pretty helpful. See linux.dell.com,
and the linux-precision archives:

Good luck with this. I'm running FC6 on a Precision 670. I had to
disable the BIOS RAID to get access to the drives directly. I don't
think you can use the BIOS raid in Windows and get RAID in Linux as
well, but perhaps the above resources will help.

I have dual booted it, but it is probably 99% Linux or more.
