Subject: Do IBM Netfinity Servers Run Freebsd Well?

	The subject is the main question.  I recently posted
questions about high-end Dell systems that we might use to
replace a pair of Suns that are 5 years old.  I have since found
out that we buy IBM Netfinity servers for our enterprise systems.

	How well do they work with freebsd?  Is there anything we
need to be especially concerned about?

	These boxes will be running the ISC bind and dhcp servers
for our campus which serves about 23,000 IP numbers and counting.

	The present Sun boxes are 140-MHZ Sparcs with 512 Megs of
RAM, each.  They are doing fine, but we know that one day, the
end will come.
