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. -- Linh Pham [lplist@closedsrc.org] // 404b - Brain not found To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
