I should have worded my reply differently instead of posting my perception, but I really didn't think I would get piled on for it. This subject interests me because we are going to have customers deploy OpenSolaris on their own equipment and I have been concerned about compatibility. Is the MOBO/Chipset/CPU actually something to be worried about with OpenSolaris compatibility?
I know this is not an all-encompassing list, but I got my hardware info from the Nexenta site (http://www.nexenta.com/corp/supported-hardware/hardware-supported-list) because that is the distro I started with. Have a great day! Geoff _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
