I have several webservers up and running using various flavors of FREEBSD from 4.1 back to 3.1 ........... I can never seem to pick a hardware combo where everything seems to work correctly without major surgery. Has anyone tried the INTEL manufactured motherboards such as the D850MV, D850MD, D850GB with a P4 and sound and stuff on board???? What version of FREEBSD works best with KDE and XFREE86??? There must be a magic combo that the development team swears by and not at! I hate buying stuff only to find out it is not supported or has bugs. Thanks, R.
