Hi, I'm interested to see what servers people use for FreeBSD. I used to buy the IBM xSeries x306 for firewalls and web servers and the x206 for low budget file servers, but both aren't being sold anymore. I recently got a few IBM x3200 and x3550. They are really nicely built and I hardly have any problems. However, the on-board RAID controllers (Adaptec AIC-9580W) aren't supported under FreeBSD so I fit them with 3ware 9000 series RAID cards. Although I really like those 3ware cards, it seems like an extra expense that could be avoided. What servers do you guys buy and why? I would really like to have the on-board RAID supported. Do HP servers play well with FreeBSD? If yes, which models would you recommend? Many thanks, Andrew. -- __/_/_ w: http://darq.com/ __/_/_ m: 07971 10 20 88 / / t: 020 7100 1447
