Please share your thoughts.

For official HP words, please see "HP Operating Systems and Virtualization Software Support for ProLiant Servers":
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/index.html
In the "Server Matrices" section, you will find more detailed compatibility information.
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html
Apparently, the officially supported Linux distributions are RedHat Enterprise Linux, SuSE Enterprise Linux, Oracle Linux and Debian. In other words, for these distributions, the official answer is "yes".
For all the other distributions, the answer is most likely "HP has not tested it: it might work, or it might not".
Since Linux is open-source software, you can say it *can* be made to work on all modern servers - although the amount of work required may vary. Therefore, one can argue that HP cannot explicitly say "no, it cannot be installed to this hardware" as it could be proven wrong eventually.
Having said that, I think Slackware 12.1 is so new that it has a good chance of working (either mostly or completely) on BL460c G7.
If you have the hardware available, the easiest way to be sure is to try it; if you don't have it, contact your HP representative and see if you can arrange a test somehow (either by HP loaning some hardware to you, or by HP running some quick tests in their own labs.)

Dear MK,

many thanks for your reply.

Sunil
