Which platform/machine which BSD supports. Is Dell 2950 okI've only ever had one compatibility issue with a Dell, and that was easily fixed by teaching the bge ethernet driver the name of the chipset used on that particular box. I have a PE1900 here we just got and it runs 7.0-RC1 quite nicely. In general, unless you're running some obscure devices, FreeBSD works just fine with most systems.
