I know very little of > FreeBSD (this is my first attempt). We're running 6.1 on DL360 G2, G3 and G4 for several weeks. No issues so far, except there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor the hardware (fans and temperature) under FreeBSD. (G5 vs. G4 shouldn't make a difference in that regard, though.) By the way, I recommend up-to-date 6-stable (RELENG_6) instead of 6.1-RELEASE. A few minor things have been fixed since then. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
