Does the Dell PERC4/SC (or DC) RAID controller is supported ? on the handbook's i386 hardware list I've not found any PERC4 controller... it means I'm lost ? ;) What about the "Intel 7210 server chipset" ? Generally speaking, any suggestion about a low-cost Dell rack-mountable FreeBSD-compatibile server ? :-) Many thanks in advance ! -- Alessandro de Manzano System & Network Administrator Playstos - TIMA S.p.A.
