In both it would hang the machine after some time (between 1 and 3 hours), usually turning the screen into modern art (vertical or horizontal lines). Hard reset necessary. There were no errors, conflicts or anything to be seen or found in the control panel. In my FreeBSD box it is great. No problems at all, except sometimes with grabbing a picture, which is probably related to a shortage of free RAM, as I run (at nice 20) mersenne primers. Stopping one of those (it is an smp box) solves it. > I love FreeBSD.
