Quoth John T. Farmer on Wed, 6 August: : : The problem I run into is that Compaq & Dell are so beloved by : "corporate America!" It's similar to to the old "Nobody ever got fired : for buying IBM" in my mainframe days... There's no problem running FBSD on a Compaq or Dell server. If they are using some oddball SCSI controller in the models under consideration, just spec a well-known aftermarket controller. Justification: Use an external enclosure, and you can get hot-swap. Very nice.
