List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:13:12 -0000 Hello, Should watch out for anything regarding FreeBSD 7.0 on the HP ProLiant DL120 G5 Server ? I'll likely be putting in 4x 1GB sticks of RAM and 2x 500GB SATA drives. (It will be a LAMP server with GMirror) Also, are any of the CPU types HP carries incompatible with FreeBSD ? I see they have a large choice of quad,dual, xeon, etc...

But I have never had any real Proliant specific problems with FreeBSD on any of the DL380 revisions (R1, G2-G5) with SA-cards 5300, 6400, P400 and P800. If you dont need to run x86 specificly, try amd64. So when you need to, you can update the memory without any hassle. I run amd64 of FreeBSD 7.1-PR on a dual quadcore intel setup with 16GB of RAM. If you run BSD wouldnt it be a BAMP instead of a LAMP? /Bjorn
