Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about OpenBSD on a Dell
Poweredge 850. List archives returned no hits, and google returned only
a dmesg of the machine from FreeBSD
(http://nycbug.org/?NAV=dmesgd&dmesgd_criteria=&dmesgid=700#700 for
those interested).

Dells seem relatively well supported, I'm mostly worried about the dual
on-board NIC.

Any light anyone could shed on compatibility would be great -- I'm
making a case for using OpenBSD with this, which was purchased to be a
firewall machine, instead of Microsoft and ISA server.

Thanks in advance,
Peter L.


Heck, boot the install disk/CD and have a look through the dmesg for "not supported", plus have a good look at any components you're especially interested in. Like what kind of onboard nics you're faced with. Five minutes well spent...
