HI Everyone
This is intended only for the developers/maintainers of FreeBSD and there
projects.

I have just made a deal on eBay for 7 servers very cheap and I would like to
donate on or two
to your efforts on maintaining and developing FreeBSD.

I'm a lover and heavy user of FreeBSD in corporate environments of FreeBSD
an since 2003 
and have scavenged/leeched of your efforts
Because of this I'm very keen on giving something back.

The machines are 2U rack mount servers with the following each:

	2 x 2.4 Xeon processors, 512MB cache, 533 MHz bus
	2 x 1 gig memory DDR 266 ECC
	2 x 100 MHz pcix slots
	2 x 32 bit pci slots
	2 x Intel Gigabit NIS (pre em6.6.3 drivers)
	ATI rage pro Graphs
	400 watt eps 12.1 power supplies
	4 x 3.5 drives
	2 x 5-1/4 drive bays

	basically they are super micro motherboards X5DEI-GG and Dual Xeons
and the best HW-config for FreeBSD

I'm definitely able to give one but if convinced by good reasons I will give
two.

My priority to sponsor is kernel, network, *PF* and they will only be handed
over to the FreeBSD Foundation 
for any use the foundation sees fit.

I will pay the shipping if I can afford it , :-)

Please write back to me directly or over the mailing list

Regards
Torsten

PS.: I have 3 pretty fast DLS links (ADSL 24+) with fixed IP's here in the
UK , if you want me to keep them here and make available to what ever is
required, let me know
