A Caramel Breeze

Motherboard for home server
Tuesday, September 02, 2008

A Foxconn motherboard is looking good in that it is cheap and has 6 x SATA ports, but still trying to ascertain if the relatively new AMD 780G chipset is supported by Opensolaris. The LAN chip (RTL8111B) is good.

One post I found mentions installing OS on a Asus 780G/SB700 mobo, so it seems it might be OK.

I would love to hear about the final product. I am in the same boat, leaning towards opensolaris and there's not much info on do's and don'ts of the hardware. So I'll be awaiting what you settle with and the config process.
