You should have him talk to me - Bob's notorious for returning phone calls rarely, if ever. :-) My phone number is in my finger entry (finger jkh@freebsd.org) or look me up in Concord, CA information. > He has collected ~60 e-mail related to FreeBSD for gateway, with some > possible duplication.

We just got the Permedia II card back from XiG, who patched their X server to actually work with it. Once we get this back from them, we can fulfill the original terms of the agreement by providing Gateway with a FreeBSD + Xaccel CDROM that they can either buy at the XiG price (since we can't pass that bit along for free, XiG would be upset :) or a FreeBSD + XFree86 CDROM that they can provide to those who don't wish to have the super-duper X server. > He would like to get the lower end Server line certified also and that > will take some special driver writing. So lets get this project moved Yeah, the MegaRAID stuff is still a real problem and I'd like to see a solution to it soon but the hows and the whys are an open question. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
