We have not certified the Dell R200 however we did include 6i drivers on the trixbox Pro 2.0 ISO. These drivers work very well on the 1950 III. If you get a chance to install on the R200 platform would love to hear your results.
Good luck!

Greg,
I did install TB Pro on the R200, but it took me over 2 days. It seems the R200 ships with a SATA DVD drive, which CentOS 4.4 doesn't support. I knew this and found a solution before ordering--at least I thought. It turned out the solution was for CentOS 5 and the driver did not work with TB Pro.
SO... I installed TB Pro from a USB stick. I used the trixbox.org wiki post that described how to install CE from a USB as a guide.
If you're interested in the kickstart file and the procedure, I will send it to you if you will post it on the wiki to help others also.
Of course, if you could add support for SATA DVDs... that would help too.
HTH,
Dan
P.S. I writing this to you from the Ftocc class
