Is this a good match and do you know of any problems with this setup? This machine is SCO certified but I was not sure if this was good enough to avoid any hardware problems with the FreeBSD OS. I can get this machine (PPro 180mhx, 80mb memory 2.1gb) for around $3500 so it seems to ba a great value (HP quality) for the price. If you have any other suggestions for an off-the-shelf machine in the same price range I would be interested in hearing them. Thank you for your help Randy Milhoan NSTA 1840 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22201 (703) 312-9281
