He is asking me if FreeBSD can run on this machine. I tried to get as much information as possible from Dell's web site, but the only reference to chipsets and such was 'ServerWorks GC-SL w/CIOB-E'. Looking at the hardware notes for the upcoming FreeBSD 4.8 I don't see this mentionned anywhere, but it might be just a marketing name for something old. Anyway, these machines use 1.7GHz Celerons and come with 4 IDE drives configured in RAID5, 2 Gigabit ethernet devices. If anybody has any experience with them, please let me know. Otherwise if anybody has any recommendation for a similarly configured machine that is known to work with FreeBSD 4.x, I would really appreciate the info. Thanks, Patrick.
