I've recently been offered a great deal on a Compaq ProLiant 6500. I was looking for success and/or horror stories before I go ahead and buy it. But I think it's a pretty exciting machine. It's a 4-way PPro, 7U RM, with all kinds of goodies. I2O support and the whole bit. I know there are a lot of Dell fans on this list, but if they were presented with this offer, they'd buy a Compaq too. I'm gonna put it in my rack at home and probably run the SMP code from -stable on it. I've already got 2 dual SMP boxen running it and am quite happy. I've also got a third dual SMP motherboard I'm contemplating taking through the -current SMP trials as a tester. But I digress..anyone have experience with FreeBSD on one of these or a similiar machine and can make a recommendation? If there's some aspect of the hardware configuration you'd need to give me a recommendation, it's available from: http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/proliant6500/index.html Thanks. Brandon D.
