Am I likely to be able to get FreeBSD 6.0 or other versions to run on this system? Best Regards, Scott Killen aka CoffeeMan salkillen@internode.on.net Kelso, New South Wales, Australia Google Earth lat -33.416027, lon 149.607101 nb. I also have 1 x Alphaserver 2100 4/233 with 2 x 233 Mhz Alpha 21264 processors, 512 Mb RAM, 2 x Storageworks 8x4.3Gb disk arrays. (which I have succeded in installing FreeBSD on, it flys :) and 1x AlphaServer 2100A 4/275 which I'm currently rebuilding ('twas short of some parts, which I'm currently ebaying for, and hope to finish next week)... It is my intention to intergrate these systems into the Local Community Wireless Network, as an example of what you can do with old cheap heavy iron and FreeBSD (I have so far spent less than AU$1000.00 on these systems and AU$350.00 to upgrade the 240v/30amp power supply to our house, "she who must be obeyed" was not looking forward to my powerbills, but hey, I don't have to run heaters in winter, I just duct the exhaust from the computer room round the house... :)
