X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 16:35:15 -0000 I'm planning on deploying a server using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE. What is your suggestion, should I go for hp ProLiant DL360 G4 or is there any sense in waiting for G5, that will be available to me within a few weeks? Any compatability issues to look forward to? I know very little of FreeBSD (this is my first attempt). Secondly, any suggestions on an equally powerful 1U solution in the same price range that would suit better for FreeBSD is most welcome.
