I don't know the answer to your question, Joey, but I sure do know of one Dell salesman who's really disappointed at losing a $20,000 order because his RAID controller manufacturer wouldn't play ball with us. Dell corporate has too much invested in the Wintel money machine. They will not switch. Our chances would be better with an Acer or -- better yet -- a Japanese manufacturer who we could get our Japan FreeBSD advocates to help us with. ALR or AST, maybe? They have server-class hardware, and Japanese investment. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
