A box configured for BSDI is a good fit for FreeBSD too. The only thing they weren't used to doing was using Adaptec SCSI adapters. Btw, Kedar at ASA Computers can do FreeBSD boxes too. Paul's investment in time working with these guys has made things real easy for BSD. Both companies have learned the importance of a good power supply and additional fans. Mike
