I really would like some advice. I am buying a P5-90 from Micron right after the holidays and I would like to avoid paying the SCSI premium ($$$ constraints) for a HD and CDROM. I understand that FreeBSD can handle EIDE (treats it as IDE) HDs but what about EIDE CDROM? I want to buy the FreeBSD CD from Walnut creek and I am interested in running X mainly for a light duty C/C++ Dev platform (I am a student and loath driving in to the labs). Is the Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM supported under FreeBSD? If not, does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to stick to OEM for support reasons! Many thanks in advance! : ) Nick (aka Curious George)
