After I had thought about my comment, I realized that it might of implied that some of my boxen were unreliable because of FreeBSD. Of course that is the farthest from the truth, due to the fact that I have never had a failure due to the FreeBSD OS itself [1], but always problems occur because hardware failures. I still have boxen that run FBSD 4.3 for legacy purposes, and it has *never* failed. FreeBSD 4.3 - FreeBSD 6.2 currently in production. 7.0 in testing. It just works. I was just hoping the BSDie logo's would make my hardware think twice about failing ;) [1] -- unless it was my negligence or -current testing that I was doing on non-production gear. Yay for BSDie! This thread will eventually turn into a flame war, so I may as well put in my piece now! Steve
