Hi all, I'm about to make the big jump and start replacing our Mac OS 9 servers with FreeBSD Boxen. If only apple would release decent server hardware... But, I digress. My question here is, and I hope this is the appropriate forum, how good is USB support in FreeBSD 4.5? I'm ordering a couple of boxes tomorrow and was wondering if I can get away with using one of the many Apple USB keyboards and Logitech USB mice that I have when I need to get hands on with my machine. If so, that would of course be ideal, allowing me to keep just one keyboard/mouse combo in my server room and swap it around as needed. If not, and I apologize for this rather basic question, are PS/2 keyboards/ mice hot swappable or would I be risking frying my computer by switching them around. I haven't seriously used x86 hardware since before the 386, so I'm a tad out of date here. Oh, and thanks to Steve Jobs, for showing us Mac guys how cool BSD is!
