Will,
Thank you very much!

From some sources I know that all ML and DL lines work fine with
FreeBSD. The one who told me about that is using HP an Compaq servers
and had only problem to install Solaris x86 on it.

I was lucky today and found one lady in HP support, who is going to
arrange some test lab for me to test FreeBSD on those servers.
I will try to check as much as I can and will put the results on the
web.

That would be good to have a webpage with server configurations that run
under FreeBSD. Don't you think so?
