Have a look at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook133.html Think on a component level, not a machine level. Almost any "generic" PC that you build up should work. The problem with (esp. Compaq) pre-configured servers is that they often use propriatary, non-standard NICs and/or SCSI host adapters. In general, most things should work, except maybe very new products. When in doubt, ask. :-) -- V Johann Visagie | wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 | ICQ: 20645559 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
