BUT, FreeBSD is the *BEST* thing, check out these numbers: Dial-up server with 24 modems (soon to go to 32, and I won't reboot it!), up for 214 days! Also runs 28 virtual WWW sites, and secondary DNS. FreeBSD 2.1.6 Router (3 x SMC 8013 + Gated)/DNS/WWW/Shell, up 59 days (rebooted by accident, was at 155 days). FreeBSD 2.0(!) News Server, well it is at 2.2.1 and the AHA-2940 isn't perfect in it, so I'll be upgrading it to 2.2.2 soon, but it is good for anywhere from 15-30 days. NT: Beat that!
