    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.
