--KQ2iXOoQ638mtNze Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, The organization I work for is looking to purchase hardware that will serve as a backup server running FreeBSD. We have purchased from IBM for many years, but we are looking at branching out and purchasing from a=20 vendor which explicitly supports FreeBSD. I have been looking at http://www.freebsdsystems.com/ recently, and am wondering if anyone on this list has any experience with this vendor. If not, from whom do you recommend buying hardware for a FreeBSD server? We look for good service contracts (on-site hardware support available, for example) as well as reliable hardware. (Though this may not be necessary, we're looking at buying something that can handle the backup of greater than 20 and less than 40 servers, but remain under a budget of $5k. We think we'll need ~1TB of storage space. Needless to say, we don't need state-of-the-art hardware to accomplish this.) Thanks a bunch! --=20 Devin Heckman System Administrator RSSP-IT-NI, UC Berkeley --KQ2iXOoQ638mtNze Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFymAxBU328th835IRAqi1AJ9/2DyU4ny83wEc01X4IVRT+uIf+QCg6pmz ydpu2laeYTHsmljugXX3t9E= =zizI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --KQ2iXOoQ638mtNze--
