COMPAQ is in the building! This is great!! I have two Proliant servers running FreeBSD (and a Dell ... but that's Okay). Geoff, please get with the tech support side and offer at least a little visibility on the company web site. Linux gets lots of space, and I think FreeBSD should, too. For example, I stumbled a bit doing my last install because I was not sure what to select for my NIC, nd someone else was confused by the choice of operating systems in the SmartStart sequence. A good How-to on installing FreeBSD on COMPAQ servers would be teriffic. Another critical topic is what models will work, and what NICs are built-in. -- == Gary Dunn == Honolulu == Open Slate Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
