I see > they have a large choice of quad,dual, xeon, etc... If the array card is ciss, i dont think there will be any problem. I have not used FreeBSD on DL120. But I have never had any real Proliant specific problems with FreeBSD on any of the DL380 revisions (R1, G2-G5) with SA-cards 5300, 6400, P400 and P800. If you dont need to run x86 specificly, try amd64. So when you need to, you can update the memory without any hassle. I run amd64 of FreeBSD 7.1-PR on a dual quadcore intel setup with 16GB of RAM. If you run BSD wouldnt it be a BAMP instead of a LAMP? /Bjorn
