Has anyone tried running = these drivers under linux compatability? Is this even possible? We are interested in using a DL380G2 and FreeBSD for a dedicated mrtg = box. The other time I tried to put FreeBSD on one of these (several = months ago) I could not get SMP to work right and the fans were just = obnoxious anyway. Despite this, we are primarily interested in a DL380G2 = and FreeBSD for this project. The alternative is microsoft - IMO we have = more than enough of that already. Please cc me with any replies - sometimes I get behind on this list. = Thanks! -Will To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
