Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a server that supports OpenBSD and I'm looking at either 
Dell PowerEdge 1950 III
or Dell PowerEdge R200.  I noticed Marco (marco@)'s message about Dell PERC 6i 
that exists on 
PowerEdge 1950 III and R2000. But, if I'm not going to use RAID and only use 
Serial ATA hard drive, would I be
able to install OpenBSD on it? 

Also, what about the network card? I noticed on 
http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html Intel Pro 1000PT 
is not supported, but Broadcom NetXtreme 5708 is.  On the OpenBSD page, it 
listed that the Broadcom 5708 is supported through PCI, but the one that's sold 
on Dell is using PCIe.  Does OpenBSD support this?

Or should I buy from another brand, that fully supports OpenBSD?  Is there any 
recommendations? 
I'm planning to buy a few servers for Gateway, Web, Mail, and LDAP 
authentication.

Thanks in advance ;)
