Hi,

I need recommendations for a bunch of developer's workstations, preferrably 
something that can be bought in Sweden, and comes with decent warranties 
etc. We used to build our own machines, but really don't see the point 
about that anymore?

We want to run FreeBSD, possibly version 7 right away, maybe we start with 
6.3. Any tips/informations are valuable. We've just browsed some vendors 
here, and HP has this:

HP Pavilion m8146 - Intel C2D E6550 / 2GB / 320GB / Radeon X1700SE / 
DVD+-RW / Vista HP

I guess that would be OK. Will it work well with FreeBSD? Other success 
stories?

Regards,
Palle
