hi folks, I already sent some mail to Gateway inquiring about their options. I haven't hear back yet though. I thought I'd share an anecdotal paragraph from my message. You could say I'm trying to show that FreeBSD has been runing on Gateway boxes for a long time. In fact, I actually has 386BSD 0.1 on it until FreeBSD 1.0 arrived on the scene. ;-) FYI, about 5 feet from where I'm typing this, is a genuine Gateway 486/66E that was subsequently upgraded to a 100MHz processor. This box has been a dedicated FreeBSD box for most of the 7 years since I bought it from Gateway. Even at such a tremendous age in high-tech years, it still makes a great ISDN router, mailserver, webserver, ftpserver, NFS fileserver, IMAP and a few other services. You could say I'm a satisfied customer who is interested in new the options. A new mid range server would be a nice replacement for this old box. Then again, if it ain't broke, why mess with it. cheers, Adrian -- [ adrian@ubergeeks.com -- Ubergeeks Consulting -- http://www.ubergeeks.com/ ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
