If I'm to build a server to run FreeBSD, do you have any advice what hardware to buy to get the most reliable server? What I mean is Trusted hardware Well supported drivers One server is to be used as a firewall, one as a low traffic web server. So what parts would you buy if the only thing to think about is cost and stability, not so much about performance and features? Trusted parts with rock solid FreeBSD driver support? I just want to put the parts together, configure a kernel and that it will run for years. No SCSI required. I'm thinking about putting the parts into a 1U 19" rack case, do you know a good microATX motherboard well supported by FreeBSD? The stability is more important than the size of the case so if you think microATX motherboards have lower quality then I will use an ordinary ATX case. kent To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
