How do HP servers compare to Dell? We're Dell fans here, but always

I do not know about Dell well. However i *really* want to use Dell
if i
have a chance. I think Dell is also good friend of FreeBSD.
If you're looking for a Dell recommendation, I'll give you one.
I've had nothing but great luck with them. So far, all their
hardware I've tried to use has been supported. There are rumors that
their newest systems have gigabit network cards that FreeBSD doesn't
have a stable driver for, so you're forced to install an Intel or
other one in one of the available PCI slots.
RAID works great, hot swap and the whole works. Even the RAID
battery status comes up in dmesg appropriately.
We tend to use used systems, as we're not in need of the fastest
systems out there, but we're looking at buying a couple brand-new
within the next month or so. If you're interested, trying buying a
box on eBay (great prices), and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
HTH!
