I used to run almost the same hardware with FreeBSD 6.0 on it, and I haven't had critical issues installing and using it. FreeBSD 6.2 seems to be stable release, as far as I can see. Go ahead and let us know if any issues.
I'm trying to run FreeBSD 6.2 on it but the system fans are always at full speed and make some serious noise. I'm running a GENERIC kernel.
What do you guys think I should do so the temperature is correctly monitored ? Do you need more info on my setup ?
Thanks. Oli.
