Yup - the iNTEL unit are going to be our default servers. > At the technical spec I can read: > Operating systems supported: Windows NT* 4.0 Server and Red Hat* > Linux 6.1 > Looks like a normal mainboard with Intel BX chipset and Intel > 10/100 NIC - so FreeBSD should run on it. Well it's not QUITE a normal motherboard. It has two Intel 100's on it. No video control - but the nice thing is that none is needed - basically a 'lights out' environment machine. On boot the BIOS is redirected through a serial port. That means you can configure the BIOS and make changes through a serial port. That means you can remotely power cycle and set/check BIOS on boot through a serial port, and then have that serial port come to life in the OS on boot. I'm getting about 8MB/sec reads/writes with an IDE - and for higher-powered systems we'll put in SCSI. iNTEL has just announced a 4RU version to go along with the 1 and 2 RU units. Nice machine and priced reasonably, IMO. Bill Vermillion -- bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
