Hi all, I've been asked to spec out a server designed to pull and store off-site backups from ~60 sites (primary function). The intention is to run FreeBSD on it, although at this point in time we're still deciding whether or not to run -stable (4.x) or -current (5.x) on it; I have a feeling that we may end up having to go with 5.x for driver support. We're looking at probably 4x146gb SCSI drives in RAID5, and I want to make sure we have hardware that's known to work under FreeBSD before we go placing an order. What vendors/equipment are people currently running reliably under FreeBSD (either 4.x or 5.x)? Any recommendations? Thanks! Regards Antony Mawer
