Hi,

I'm looking for a rackmount server to run FreeBSD on.  I know Dell 
reasonably well (though mostly with Linux), and the 2850 seems to fit what 
I'm looking for.  However I'm concerned about support for the PERC4e/Di 
RAID controller, ie monitoring the state of.  There was some talk of 
support through LSI's own drivers (the link escapes me for the minute), 
but this was for FBSD 5.n.  Does anyone have any up to date experience / 
info?

Alternatively, suggestions for other similar FreeBSD friendly hardware 
that is easily available in Switzerland would also be useful.

Thanks,

Alex.
