Hi, The subject says it all ... Does ayone happen to have an idea whether FreeBSD/amd64 will run on a Sun Fire V20z? If it doesn't, I assume that FreeBSD/i386 will do for the moment, right? http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v20z/ In the smallest configuration it's available for ~ $2800 which seems pretty cheap, taking the data into account (1U form factor, up to two processors, two U320 SCSI drive bays, two gigabit ethernet ports, 8 DIMM slots for up to 16 Gb RAM), _and_ the fact that it carries a cool Sun logo. ;-) I mean, for comparison, an x86-based HP Proliant DL360-G3 is just about the same price (or even a bit more), while having roughly the same data (1U, 2 x U320, 2 x gigabit), but only 32bit intel Xeon, not 64bit AMD Opteron.
