Hi,
I'm interested to see what servers people use for FreeBSD. I used to
buy the IBM xSeries x306 for firewalls and web servers and the x206 for
low budget file servers, but both aren't being sold anymore. I recently
got a few IBM x3200 and x3550. They are really nicely built and I
hardly have any problems. However, the on-board RAID controllers
(Adaptec AIC-9580W) aren't supported under FreeBSD so I fit them with
3ware 9000 series RAID cards. Although I really like those 3ware cards,
it seems like an extra expense that could be avoided.
What servers do you guys buy and why? I would really like to have the
on-board RAID supported. Do HP servers play well with FreeBSD? If yes,
which models would you recommend?
Many thanks,
Andrew.
