The only experience I have with HP is their printers and I know nothing about their server compatability with FreeBSD. Does anyone know if this unit is compatible with FreeBSD 6.2 or has anyone actually installed it on one? Any pointer to pitfalls and/or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tim
