Normally we buy all our hardware at Dell, they also have this kind of servers, for instance the PowerApp Web 100, we have also seen this kind of servers form BSDi.com, they have FreeBSD preinstalled, and say they are completely optimized. But they are considerably more expensive. Can anyone tell me more about both these servers, how good is the BSDi machine (and the organization), does FreeBSD install on the Dell and so on? tia Jeroen Heijungs Het Muziektheater Amsterdam, The Netherlands To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
