Easiest is to buy from a vendor that can test on your OS of choice, there are lots of vendors out there that can do it. Two such companies I have bought from that do this include http://www.siliconmechanics.com/ (HQ in Seattle, WA area) http://www.asaservers.com/ (HQ in San Fransisco, CA area) Both specialize in Supermicro/Tyan-based systems(as to most other "whitebox" vendors). nate _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
