I don't know if anyone is keeping a list of machines or brands that FreeBSD
works well with but here is one for the list.  Last night a pulled a brand
spanking new Dell Dimension V400 out of the box.  This machine is a 400MHz
PII with 128 megs of RAM and 6 Gig IDE Hard drive.  It has a built in ATI
Rage 3D card and a 3Com PCI 10/100 Ethernet controller.

While I have never really had problems installing FreeBSD on a machine I
always seem to have issues with XFree86.  It usually involves the video
card.  Let me tell you, this was so easy I had to write this email.  I had a
fully function workstation in about 1 hour flat.

Color me a happy camper.
