Date: 16 Nov 1995 23:49:13 GMT Organization: Acquired Knowledge Systems, Inc. Lines: 66 Message-ID: <48gilp$u8p@wn.aksi.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: morpheus@wd.aksi.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hello all, We are purchasing a system to run FreeBSD but I justed wanted to look at BSDI as an alternative since there is a centralized location for tech support. The systems will be using 2940W and 3940W Adaptec SCSI controllers. Now I know nothing is mentioned on the BSDI web site about the products but most of the info on that site seems pretty old. Here is the system we are looking to get. Any comments will be appreciated. Regards- Jeremy Main server: ------------ P54C-133 CPU/256K pipelined burst SRAM, 4 PCI slot motherboard.
