Thanks ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 23:34:27 -0500 (EST) From: spork To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: News server, 2.1.6.1 vs 2.2 I'm about to start building a new news server, and I'm kind of in the dark about which version of FBSD to go with. We have about 5 machines running 2.1.6 now, and it's been very stable and predictable. But I'm a bit curious if any of the recent enhancements in 2.2 would make it worth the risk (how much of a risk?) for a bit more speed and some additional features. Hardware so far consists of: ASUS P55T2P4 w/133 Pentium 128M Adaptec 2940 Adaptec 3940 16 2G drives DEC DE500-XA 10/100 Ethernet card Any thoughts? Anyone else running 2.2 on a news server? Charles
