Confirm that this works fine with FBSD (I assume it does, all the components look fine, just the NIC I'm thinking about because I've never used one), and 2. Identify as to whether there is a supplier for these boxes in the UK? This is exactly what we need for a project we have in mind, but I need a regular, reliable UK distributor. Alternatively, if anybody else can give us an idea of sub-£1k machines with dual nics that are either 1u or 2u and available in the UK AND have been tested with FBSD in a production environment, give me a shout. The critical component for us is dual-port NIC. -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
