Thanks Ken - agreed. We both got a little off topic - but I do think sources for reliable hardware ultimately help anyone working with FreeBSD - especially when dealing with many machines in a cluster. I'm sure we all have stories about lots of wasted hours only to find out it was due to some cheap no-name card or something :) Ray | Ray/List, et. al.-- | | I'd meant to send my last reply to Ray and not the list. That's what I | get for doing email that late when I'm tired... | | I think Ray's reply to OP was an honest effort to be helpful based on | his personal experiences with oss. Similarly with me. I wouldn't have | followed up to the extent that I did had not the company I was | referencing been so rude and arrogant. | | Sorry that I cannot recall specifics as they were one of many | I spoke with and it's been a few weeks but I was pretty sure we | were talking about the same outfit. However, I now concede that we may | not have been referencing the same company. Doing some research this | morninig, I am inclined to think I was the one in error. The | company I referenced was very close in name (again sorry that I cannot | recall precisely), linked to from Tyan's website (perhaps at the time, | but I cannot seem to find them there anymore), was a flash heavy site, | and somehow affiliated with Colfax (at least that's who I got | transferred to and the website I was directed to to check pricing). Of | this latter part I am sure because I revisited and immediately | recognize the site. | | Anyhow, I don't want to spam the list anymore with this. But in | fairness to Open Source Storage I feel I should post this follow up | saying that I _may_ have been confusing them with someone else. My | apologies if I've offended anyone in so doing. | | Thanks for your indulgence and have a good day;-) | | Ciao-- kvg | _______________________________________________ | freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list | http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 | To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" | |
