I'll forward this message to Acer. Acer has some centers in the USA,
and maybe they are interested in making their machines become "real
server" :-)

It would be a great pity if "Acer Altos 21000 server" can not run
FreeBSD-SMP. A "server" without FreeBSD is not a "real(ideal) server"
for me (and many others) :p

Could anyone suggest some "high-end hardware" for running FreeBSD?
My projects need *very-powerful* FreeBSDs using apache-php4-ssl +
mysql to serve millions of users. However, we had some trouble choosing
the "proper machines". We wish to buy the "right machine" for running
FreeBSD-SMP with Pentium III 600 x 8(or even 16), 8(or even 16)G Ram.
A least, we hope to find the right machine running FreeBSD-SMP with
Pentium III 550 x 4, 4G Ram.

It is said that "http://www.alltheweb.com/" runs FreeBSD on "Dell computer".
Does anyone know the the detail hardware spec. of the "Dell computer"?
Or, does anyone know what kind of machines are used by yahoo.com?

By the way, "Acer ProStation 7000" is a good choice for "mid-end server"
running FreeBSD-SMP --
