I was curious to the types of hardware that you guys/gals are using for your FreeBSD machine. Right now I have a Pentium 133 (430fx chipset), 1.6 gig hardrive, 64 megs of EDO ram, 1 floppy drive, a 4X IDE cdrom drive, Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 video card, Mouse Systems 2 button mouse, a standard US 101 key keyboard, and a 15 inch monitor. I'd like to upgrade my machine one day to a dual Pentium Pro or Pentium II, but I'm pretty much broke at the moment so I'll have to wait. Like I said before, I was wondering what you guys/gals were running. I was wondering this because of all the new hardware that is coming out recently - Ultra DMA, USB ports, etc. I was wondering if FreeBSD was compatible with the Ultra DMA, and if FreeBSD had any drivers for USB peripherals such as QuickCams or whatever. I'm greatly interested in the dual Pentium II machines. I'm pretty much waiting for FreeBSD 3.0 (or whatever version that might be out that supports SMP) to be released so that I can run a dually and FreeBSD in harmony. :) Hell, actually I don't even understand how Unix drivers work, or how they are even installed. That's one thing I'm gonna have to figure out. Can anyone give me some help on the subject? Anyways, I was just curious.
