For HP and Debian, look here :

I have recently build a Proliant DL360G5 with Etch without problems.

Now, DL320 servers are not SCSI/SAS and will probably cause more problems. As you can see in the compatibility matrix : http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/433096-0-0-0-121.html

DL320G5 are supported with Etch.
If you want hardware RAID, you can add an additional HBA SCSI card and use SAS drives.
To keep the garranty, you'll have to buy a HP SmartArray card.

 HP Smart Array E200/128 BBWC Controller
 HP Smart Array E500/256 Controller
 HP Smart Array P400/256MB Controller
 HP Smart Array P400/512MB BBWC Controller

Perhaps the budget will grow enought to consider DL360...
