Installing Proxmox on a legacy system

[Juub]

Hello, I have an old Dell PowerEdge T310 (from around 2010) with a PERC 6 RAID controller.

I am looking to use Proxmox as an hypervisor (ESXI is way too expensive). I verified the ISOs on the website and they all seem to be fairly recent. My system however is very old with a 2.40GHz Xeon 3430 4-Core and I would like to know what would be the latest version of Proxmox it supports.

Thanks in advance.

Try a Debian LiveCD (the basis of Proxmox) and Ubuntu LTS (the Proxmox kernel base). If they both work, then your hardware is probably supported by Proxmox.
Or just try the latest Proxmox 6.3, because you don't want to be stuck on an old version (with potential bugs and security issues). The Linux base of Proxmox tends to support old hardware until there is no developer in the world left that has (access to) the hardware to test new Linux versions.

It wont be an issue to run latest proxmox on it.

But don't expect much from a 11 year old server.

4 Core for a virtualization system?
That's not making a lot of fun.
Also memory will probably be limited heavily.
Check that your CPU has virtualization features. As of 2010 all the procs should have those but better safe than later on sorry and wasting a lot of time.
