What I meant is that not all of the Windows-based solutions are
available for the servers that come with Linux pre-loaded. This is
changing, some quicker than others... but it's not easy to get a
quad-processor server with Linux pre-loaded... from Compaq anyways :)

# They ALSO have at least one Intel-based system running FreeBSD
# in their testdrive center (although they do NOT sell preloaded
# FreeBSD systems)

Unfortunately... nor do they have any Alpha based workstations
pre-loaded with FreeBSD like one of their Alpha test-drive servers :(

# There is also the ida driver which supports the Compaq SmartRaid
# controllers.

Do you know which versions of the SmartRAID controller is supported. I
do have a fairly old Compaq server running FreeBSD, but I would like to
get it on a DL380 or something as a hefty mail/DNS server for work.
