Hi
I'm trying to find a good platform for FreeBSD 7.0 based web and
database servers.
FreeBSD certified hardware listed at http://www.freebsd.org/commercial/hardware.html
are not available in my area, so I obliged to choose the mid-level
solutions from Dell, HP and IBM.
I would be happy if someone will give me some feedback about his
experience installing FreeBSD on any of Dell, HP or IBM servers.
I know that my question is quite broad: my aim is to investigate the
level of FreeBSD compatibility with each of three major brands
available in my region.
Thanks,
Eugen
You can't go wrong with the HP stuff. I've been running production systems
with FreeBSD on a range of Proliant hardware for some years now.
FreeBSD on Dell's intel processor machines is great with one exception.
Don't use anything RAID related from Dell. Their controllers are all
bogus, not to mention really expensive for what you get.
