I'm not sure but I think the proliant has a ThunderLAN based ethernet board,
like the deskpro series. So at last the ethernet should work.

For the other parts os the machine, I guess you shouldn't have much trouble.
There may be a PCI mode detection issue, but this can be solved with
a kernel compile-time option.
Get in touch with me if you need a special boot floppy because of this.
