X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 09 Jul 2005 00:03:29 -0000 I'm looking at buying an off-the-shelf server, of which a Dell PowerEdge 1800 is an option. The features are what I want and the price is excellent, but of course Dell can't tell me how well it works with FreeBSD 5.x. I'm looking for: Success stores, gotchas, gripes. Is the SMB/BMC supported for the usual system monitoring (fans, temp, memory errors, etc.)? Does the amr driver produce/log a disk failure?
