How is good is their support when things go wrong?

HP ProLiant servers are generally decent. The onboard RAID is
usually
supported by the ciss driver.

No, I haven't tried to hot-swap the disks. The machines are redundant
web heads and DNS servers which we can bring down without service
down-time. But come to think of it, I ha

Hi,
I'm interested to see what servers people use for FreeBSD. I used to
buy the IBM xSeries x306 for firewalls and web servers and the x206 for
low budget file servers, but both aren't being sold anymore. I recently
got a few IBM x3200 and x3550.
