Hello list!

I want to install Gentoo as headless firewalls on a pair of HP ProLiant
DL360 G5 servers we happen to have lying around.

Are there special issues I need to be aware of before embarking on this
endeavor?

Specifically, are there special steps to take w.r.t.:
* The RAID controller (AFAIK will result in 'strange' device names such as
/dev/cciss/c0d0, or somesuch)
* NIC controller chips
* SNMP stuff, e.g., Insight Management Agent
* Other stuff

Pointers are very welcome!

Rgds,
