Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am wondering what brand of PC is the favorite of FreeBSD users. I am starting a web presence provider and plan on using FreeBSD servers so I will be purchasing my initial servers soon. I have FreeBSD installed on a Gateway 2000 desktop system right now and it is running fine, but Gateway is awfully expensive compared to many other brands. So, my question is what brand of computer is your favorite buy for FreeBSD servers (or do you buy your own hardware and build it yourself)? Also, any recommendations on hard drive brands (I'm thinking Seagate SCSI, but is there a better brand?)
