I'm actually more curious wether the on-board SCSI controller will work. We may be buying one of these soon and I'd like to swap out the current Proliant 3000 I have running FreeBSD with this thing if it will work. Ours will only be single-processor using the onboard SCSI controller, unlike yours with Dual procs and RAID controller, though. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
