The system is not stable :( Alas :( This is unfair - realise that 205 does *not* lockup for everyone. I have been running FreeBSD since before 1.0 and before that have used several commercial PC UNIX os's. 205 is the most stable OS I have ever had running on this box - I have not had a single crash or lockup with it. The difficulty is that a particular lockup may only be apparent with your particular combination of hardware. Of course this is a bitch for you, and makes the problems difficult to reproduce and fix for everyone else. But it also means that you cannot slag off the entire release, just because it is not 100% for you. -- ------------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Mailed using ELM on FreeBSD | Karl Strickland PGP 2.3a Public Key Available. | Internet: karl@bagpuss.demon.co.uk |
