Thanks. I used to lust over these when they first came out, but to costly for me.
Then one showed up on ebay 4 or 5 years ago and I had to get it!

roddierod,

i am just wondering is it fast? does fbsd run well on it?
is it good enough to use as a "desktop"?
if you could maybe post a photo of it that will be cool.

My server ain't much:

Athlon XP 1900
768MB of RAM (I think it's PC2100)
HighPoint 454 RAID controller with three 160GB drives in a RAID5
FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE #0: Wed Jan 16 04:18:52 UTC 2008
I have a 300GB external USB drive hooked up to it that I rsync my data to with a script once a week.

That's pretty much all the pertinent info, since I don't have X running on it or anything. It's my file/web services server. It does the job quite well. I really like that HighPoint provides FreeBSD drivers (although only through 6.2. They don't work with 7.0, but I was able to make it work with 6.3 by monkeying with the script that came with the driver). I actually bought the card way back when I was running Win2k server on it and it was a nice surprise to see I could switch to BSD and have a readily available driver.

I have an old PIII Compaq laptop running FreeBSD 6.2 and Xfce. It sucks. It heats up to about 200 degrees after running for a while, but I don't enjoy messing with laptop hardware enough to take it apart.

And there's a couple WinXP boxes in the house. I admit it. Please be merciful.

This is the only picture I have of it online Santiago. This is link is hosted on it. It's the 2 rack space server version.

I haven't found any in the Tower Configuration. But it had Debian installed on it when I got it so I do know that it can run X, but I haven't tried using it as a desktop. I still have the idea of getting a DEC Personal Workstation or a DS10 to run as a desktop.

If my wife's laptop is any indication, renewing the thermal compound on the CPU and cleaning the fans and heat sinks goes a *long* way to cooling laptops down. I was chasing another issue -- a bad power connector -- so I had to go in there anyway. They are not that difficult to work on, actually, but you do have to be a bit careful.

Well, we have six MS boxes, ranging from W2K through Vista-64. That does not include three VMs. Pretty much all of us have MS somewhere.

Right now, all I have is my laptop. It's a PowerPro J 10:15 from PowerNotebooks.com which is built on a Compal IFL90 barebones laptop. Currently, it is running FreeBSD 7-STABLE (i386).

Mostly everything works fine on it and given the fact that I took a shot in the dark in buying this notebook, I am rather pleased. It was a good price and I didn't have to buy an OS with it. I did have to pull the HDD, though, because they left the jumper in limiting the drive to 1.5 GB/s. No big deal, though...it only took a minute to fix that . I also had to enable AHCI the BIOS. Without it, the ICH8M does not get detected and the HDD will run at UDMA33 .

Things that don't work:
  • memory card reader (not detected, tried MemoryStick Pro with no luck)
  • fingerprint reader (TouchStrip Fingerprint Sensor) (detected as ugen)
  • built-in camera (Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd. USB 2.0 Camera) (detected as ugen, FreeBSD needs a USB video class driver for this to work)

Hardware Notes:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 (2.4 GHz)
RAM: 2 GB dual channel DDR2 /667 (1 GB x 2)
HDD: 160 GB Seagate Momentus @ 7200 rpm (SATA II 3.0 GB/s)
Video: NVidia GeForce 8600M GT w/ 512 MB video memory; widescreen (1440x900) glossy LCD (x11/nvidia-driver)
LAN: Broadcom 5787 Gigabit (bge driver FreeBSD 6.3+)
WLAN: Intel 3945abg (wpi driver FreeBSD 7.0+)
Audio: Realtek ALC268 HD audio codec (snd_hda or audio/oss) - built-in speakers are not bad, but they don't turn off when I plug headphones in. The audio/oss drivers do provide a way to disable the built-in speakers; ossxmix has a checkbox to turn off speakers. I am using snd_hda right now since OSS has been causing lockups with Wine.
ACPI: battery level detected, could not get S3 to work.

This is a little off topic, but both of those might eventually be a working possibility.

First of all, for the TouchStrip, The "fprint" project might support that, you'll need to install "libusb".

http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page

FreeBSD has a port of fprint but it seems to be an older version, manually compiling it should be fairly strait forward.

Just because devices attach as ugen doesn't mean they're completely useless, libusb has opened up the possibility of simple user land drivers.

As for the camera, not exactly FreeBSD related, OpenBSD -CURRENT has a UVC driver now uvideo(4). (Plus a v4l2 framework, no man page yet.. but, soon. :-))

Perhaps FreeBSD developers will port it eventually?

All the machines I have run FreeBSD x86, PowerPC or AMD64 except for my MacBook Pro, my mobile phone (strange but true). My internet router box runs OpenBSD. My toaster runs NetBSD... if I had a toaster.

My primary FreeBSD/amd64 desktop built on the cheap from parts at Sim Lim Square is:
  • Samsung 22inch widescreen (damned lifesaver for coding and markup writing IMHO, though I hear lots of programmers hate widescreens)
  • Intel Core2 Duo e8400 3GHz
  • 4GB HyperX DDR2
  • 750GB Samsung (32GB reserved for Draco Linux, dual boot)
  • Really cheap pci-e Nvidia card (I'm on my laptop now, can't remember model)
  • Huge copper heatsync for coping with Singapore temperature when I don't have their aircon on during the day. It gets HOT in this room!

As Grogan said, no official Nvidia 64bit drivers are a pain, but I guess I don't really need them. SimCity 2000 in Wine is the extent of my gaming.

IMHO Your better of using CentOS or fedora 9 codenamed (Sulphur), because RHEL coast about 160 usd for a threee year subscription where as, Fedora or CentOS are Free as in Dirt stinking Cheap.
