In general, FreeBSD installs fine on Dell servers. I have not personally tried on one of their 1U boxes, however. My luck with BSDi boxes (formerly Telenet Systems) has been generally good. I did have my bad luck with a couple of desktop systems, and one server box that refuses to run anything except linux in a stable manner (I tried WinNT 4.0, BSD/OS 4.x, and FreeBSD 3.x on it before I gave up.) Most boxes I bought from them have been rock solid. Lately, however, I buy from Dell. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
