Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hey all, I'm coming to a point where building machines from parts is fast becoming something no longer desirable and an looking for alternatives. I'm trying to find a manufacturer that builds entire system that are FreeBSD friendly and thus far just haven't had any luck. Here's the specs I'm looking for: 19" Rackmount Dual hot swap power (2 power plugs if possible) PIII 800+ 1GB or more of ram Disks aren't soo important since external raid will be used U2/U160 SCSI onboard or able to take full height PCI card Nothing real strange or anything so that's why I find it soo weird. I know there are vendors like Compaq,Dell,etc,etc but from reading I've come to find that systems like this are a little too proprietary in some aspects and don't run soo well unless you're running NT (especially Compaq)... So I'd appreciate any pointers you guys can give..
