I'd like to try out FreeBSD on an SMP system but to do so I'll have to first buy some hardware. Can anyone give me suggestions on good, reliable, fast mainboard/processor combinations? (Also, is this mailing list archived? I could find any archive in the usual places.) My limited experience installing FreeBSD2.1 has been quite positive thus far - first with a generic 386 system, then with a P75 on an ASUS mainboard. The fact that the installations were easy for me means that somebody else put in some hard work. Of course I'll pass along anything I learn that might be useful. -Paul I can also be reached at broome@msiadmin.cit.cornell.edu
