Hello,
I'd like to install FreeBSD on a new home server and use ZFS, but I have to problems :
1. I'm used to Linux universe, but I'll come later for my BSD problems.
2. I'm trying to find hardware compatible with FreeBSD.
As it is a new computer, I decided to use a core i7-860 from Intel with 4G/8G of memory, which is, as I read in the forum, better for using ZFS.
Where I have some troubles is to choose a motherboard. I'll need at least : 1 or 2 Ethernet port(s), several SATA2 ports.
I found three motherboards that correspond to my needs :
- MSI P55-GD65 (linux lspci)
- ASUS P7P55D (Deluxe or not) (linux lspci)
- GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD5
The only component that I'm sure is working (from the hardware list) is the Ethernet chipset of the MSI motherboard.
Do you have any suggestion about which motherboard works and which one doesn't work with FreeBSD 8.0 ? (Even if it is another of these 3)
Thanks.
