A while back I bought a server from http://www.asacomputers.com/. They are listed on http://www.openbsd.org/products.html, which I didn't know until *after* I'd bought from them. They were helpful and responsive, and worked with me to line up a compatible RAID controller, etc. They installed and configured OpenBSD with everything working. Of course I did a fresh install, but since they'll install and configure as part of the price you *know* everything will work before they ship. :) They even called/emailed me later to make sure I was happy with the machine, and that there were no problems. They are not the cheapest, but they carry good quality server hardware and the service appears to be very good (I can't say what would happen if I'd had problems, since everything has been fine). And when I say they're not the cheapest, neither are they the most expensive. For what they're selling they're competitive. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/darrin/ |
