So, has anyone had success on installing FreeBSD 3.3 on such a beast? Any hints, tips, tricks, gotcha's I need to be aware of? I have 3.3 running on my current desktop (also a Dell - see the pattern here at work? ;') And it is very very nice ;') I'll be trawling through the PAO pages r.s.n. just to see what I need to make allowances for there. But if anyone has some information that might save (a) some grief, and (b) some 'face' here in a predominantly WinNT shop ;') I'd appreciate it.
