I did encountera fairly serious problem all the same: as it turned out they were running 4.6 on a DL-360 G2. When I went out and bought a DL-380 G3 and installed 4.7, the network card was not recognised. I had to download and install 4.8-RC2 in a panic to get it up and running. I could have done without that kind of grief. I now see that they have upgraded to 4.8. And I quote: "May 02, 2003 We have just upgraded both of our FreeBSD Test Drives to the latest release. FreeBSD 4.8 is now running on an AlphaStation XP1000 and a ProLiant DL360 G2. The XP1000 has a single EV67 processor and 2 GB of memory, while the ProLiant DL360 G2 has two 1.4 GHz Pentium III Xeon processors and 4 GB of memory. Try out the latest release of FreeBSD on our systems before you install it on yours!" They say you're not allowed to run benchmarks, but I checked that I was alone on the machine and ran them anyway.
