According to this threads:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-installation-40/failed-to-install-slackware-13-37-32bit-on-dell-poweredge-r610-894224/
It works with Slackware 14.1
Considering its specs, I assume that it should also work on Slackware
14.1., so I suggest that you just try. In case of an issuu, come back.
