Hi hackers, I am in a big dillema (and great hurry/pressure). I need to buy some hardware for some firewalls for my company. And so the blues started. First, I went to Dell. Almost signed the papers for two PowerEdges 2550, (everything in them seemed to be compatible with FreeBSD) when I found out they are longer then the rack!!! And not only the 2550, but most of their cases. So I went to IBM. A little more expensive, but what the hack? It's IBM. So, almost made a system, and when coming to checking the compatibility list, IBM ServeRaid is not supported under FreeBSD. WTF??? So my question is: if you'd have to buy good/reliable hardware now, which is the vendor you'd choose (considering the facts above)? I looked on the FreeBSD's site for some hardware vendors in Germany (where I live), but none found. And I'd go for a brand name, anyways. Thank you, bogdan ---------------------------- iCom Media AG Kirchweg 36 Koln, 50858 Germany Phone: +49-(0)221-485-689-16 Fax : +49-(0)221-485-689-20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
