Interesting. I've used a Dell GX260 for my workstation since 2003, and I've had no hardware problems running two versions of FreeBSD, one version of OpenBSD and one version of Solaris-10. Two other 260s have been file-servers since 2004. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company If caught with pants down, redefine pants. --pissed-off KDE user
