Hi, I managed to come accross this old Compaq Proliant server and wanted to try it out for a personal webserver. Since I wanted to try out BSD, I decided to go with it as the operating system. My choice distro (or what do you call it?) was FreeBSD because I use Gentoo Linux and it's package system is a rip-off of FreeBSD's ports. I figured that would be the easiest transition. Now, I am not totally sure which model the server is, but I know that it has a 200Mhz cpu and 128 MB of RAM. Suprisingly after I booted it up (after several tries) I saw the WinXP bootlogo and soon was at the login screen. If it can run that, it can run almost anything! So I put the bootonly bsd cd that I downloaded a couple of days ago and got it to boot. That went well, exept there is a bit of a problem. The input is veeery slow. I press a down arrow and have to wait a minute for it to happen. There was no lag in the installed XP, so what might have brough about it in BSD? --=20 Cheers, Karol Krizka Fun Game-> http://www.hobowars.com/182837/
