Dell PowerEdge R300 X3323

You could have guessed it yourself but why not try the latest?
 
If you have 4GB or more then I would suggest going for amd64. If not, stick to i386.
 
Thanks for your suggestion. I will go on amd64 as currently I have 2GB but soon it will be with 8GB.

I just got this beauty ... Dell PowerEdge R300 X3323
What version of FreeBSD do you suggest to install on it?

I have 2 of those with X3363 CPUs and one with an X5470. I agree - they're very nice machines, with a couple caveats:

  • The built-in bge network ports don't support jumbo frames.
  • The DRAC 5 card (if you have it) is a little twitchy under FreeBSD - I went to serial console ports for most things.
  • The PERC card (if you have it) works in FreeBSD, but management tools are pretty sparse. And you get "mpt0: mpt_cam_event: 0xNN" messages every now and again.

I'm running 8-STABLE amd64 on mine.
