Hi folks, I know this is a bit off the topic, but you are the people "in the know." We are about to put together a grant proposal for Intel where we get a bunch of Pentium II boxes in the next 5-6 months. They will initially be NT boxes, but I am arguing that they be dual boot with FreeBSD. As such I need to avoid problem hardware. This has caught me a little off guard and I need to respond with some suggestions today. Any and all comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My basic questions: Is there anything in particular Intel hardware I should avoid? Problem chipsets, motherboard designs, etc. Can anyone recommend a "server" class box made by intel? Does anyone have any other recommendations as to multimedia hardware? Graphics boards, video capture etc. As I mentioned, I really want to avoid non-FreeBSD compatible stuff. many thanks, Adrian p.s. You may want to respond to me privately, since this is a bit astray form the prupose of the hackers list. -- adrian@virginia.edu ---->>>>| Support your local programmer, System Administrator --->>>| STOP Software Patent Abuses NOW!
