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.
