Can anybody please:

1. Confirm that this works fine with FBSD (I assume it does, all the
components look fine, just the NIC I'm thinking about because I've never
used one), and

2. Identify as to whether there is a supplier for these boxes in the
UK? This is exactly what we need for a project we have in mind, but I need a
regular, reliable UK distributor.

Alternatively, if anybody else can give us an idea of sub-£1k machines with
dual nics that are either 1u or 2u and available in the UK AND have been
tested with FBSD in a production environment, give me a shout.

The critical component for us is dual-port NIC.
