Hi List, I'm looking to purchase a Dual Xeon with Raid support and I'm thinking either IBM, Compaq/HP. My problem is none of these vendors will guarantee that FreeBSD will be compatible with their systems and they are not prepared to give me a demo machine to test. So I am basically relying on hopefully some good solid advice on a system that will work "out of the box" with FreeBSD. I'm going to be using this as a mail server and proxy serving approximately 1000+ people so specs needn't be too great. If anyone could give me some good leads on this issue I'd be grateful. I mentioned IBM because we already have a good relationship with them as we have a couple of RS6000's running Informix. If someone uses any of their new i386 systems with FreeBSD I'd like to hear from you. Thanks for your input. Kind Regards, Nelis
