I use FreeBSD and I love it, I've used it for years and am not going back to Linux. BUT!, your entry expectations wrt progress, the level of support, and many other things differ from the Linux world. I have 15 blades up 24X7, and one controller machine, and another 10 or so satellites, all running FreeBSD 6.1 or 6.2. And we have had our share of problems. For example, some key aspects of clusterit have never worked for us. So we moved on and have made to with one or two (now,) excellent home-brew solutions. But running FreeBSD is not going to be like running Linux. On the other hand, you'll get a lot of work done that with Linux, you'd never be able to do, because Linux has it's own kind of troubles. I use these machines for research and some production applications and don't need GUI's or lot's of access to the internet. A few minutes a day is all. So we don't see attacks and such. --jg On Oct 30, 2007, at 7:27 PM, Jordi Prats wrote: > Hi all, > This is my first post on this list.
