No problems so far. You might want to disable USB within BIOS, though, because they seem to be shared with other critical devices (nics and raidcontroller). But I don't use USB anyway. Then you might want to upgrade to 5-STABLE. This is on Dell PowerEdge 2800 with 2GB ECC RAM, 4 x 36GB SCSI and amrd-Controller (PERC-4-something). Binary copy of SAP 4.6C and Oracle 8 (from a working installation on FreeBSD 4.x) works nearly without changes (using emulators/linux_base-suse-9.1 and one additional rpm (some compatibility-thing)).
