I'm running a couple of them with FreeBSD 5.2.1 and they work great.  (Both 
the single and dual processors models).  I currently don't have one with the 
PERC controller but am ordering one within a couple weeks (Dell 1600SC with 
PERC).  I was also going to order a DLT drive but was just given one 
yesterday from another company's salvage pile.
