Hello Alex,

You can give it a try.

Download FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE iso images from:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.2/

Thanks

I have a number of them running (dl360) and they are very stable. The only drawback is that HP system management tools for FreeBSD are not available or outdated. OTOH, FreeBSD base system and the ports have tons of system management tools.

It seems that HP has hired one FreeBSD programmer, so official support from HP may improve in the future. HP has also a testdrive program, where they are running FreeBSD themselves on two systems. See http://www.testdrive.hp.com/.

cheers,
digid
