Re: Debian vs. freeBSD

[Debian Ghost <debian-isp@ghost.ntelos.net>]

BTW,
The hardware for this system will be a compaq DL380 series server.
It has 5 ultra2 scsi 9.1 gig drives. I did not know if ultra2 scsi
presented any advantage when considering freebsd or Debian or not.

Any info on this is appriciated!
