Well I am a it wary of using -current system in a production environment this is why I suggested -stable or -release And to answer Taavi Talvik's comments , I think it is a catch 22 situation there can only be more supported hardware if people use ATM in FreeBSD and they can only use it if there are more hardware supported. The reason is simple IMHO, many people will look at what IS currently supported under FreeBSD in order to purchase adequate hardware. Of course I am talking about users and not develloper ,because not every user of FreeBSD is also a develloper. -- =================================================================== Christophe Prevotaux Email: c.prevotaux@hexanet.fr HEXANET SARL URL: http://www.hexanet.fr/ =================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-atm" in the body of the message
