Now that you can buy a Dell box (maybe even one of these) with Linux pre-installed, you might want to just call your friendly Dell representative and ask them this question... I know they have been very helpful in the past; especially if you blow the $$$ to pay for a service call (something like $20 per incident, I believe.) e.g. You might want to install Linux - have it crash for the same reasons and then call Dell... that would get an answer, anyway... [Of course, Linux may already handle the interesting memory situation - I don' know.] Just something to consider, or not, as the case may be... - Dave Rivers - -- rivers@dignus.com Work: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe (370) `C' compiler at http://www.dignus.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
