I am new to suse and enterprise grade I am trying to install suse12 on a on a dell PowerEdge 2950 . to use to learn with can anyone tell me if the dell PowerEdge 2950 will run suse. any help would be gratefully thankful.
It handles 64-bit OS’s, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s certified for SLES11 so it’s highly likely to work with SLES12 also: https://www.suse.com/nbswebapp/yesBulletin.jsp?bulletinNumber=134033

SLE-12-SP1-Server-DVD-x86_64-GM-DVD1…this is the iso file I downloaded to use
Yes, that’s probably the right one. As always, you should verify the
checksum (if not the signature via PGP/GPG) of the downloaded file to
verify no corruption during download, but otherwise that name looks
correct. As you may already know, you only really need DVD1 (this one)
for an install; DVD2 (and sometimes DVD3) are for debuginfo packages,
source code, etc.

Good luck.

According to
https://www.suse.com/yessearch/SResults.jsp?bulletinNumber=&keywords=&searchSelect=1&productCategory=&companyKey.type=companyName&companyKey.max=25&companyKey.format=Select&companyKey.original=&companyKey=209&companyKey.index=2&input1=01-01-2001
latest version of SLES certified for Dell PowerEdge 2950 is that one,
SLES11 SP1.
Theoretically later versions of SLES should work but it could depend on
any add-on cards, particularly RAID controllers.
HTH.
