I just have a few questions dealing with the online documentation; specifically two issues... We almost exclusively run Linux here, and the 3Com cards work great. We like to stick with one vendor/model as much as possible so spares are easy to keep around. In the online handbook, I see the 3C509 has a note next to it that says (buggy). It seems to be OK, but this will be a production machine. What I'm wondering is whether the handbook is referring to 2.1 or 2.1.5 or both and if the driver is truly buggy what might be recommended as far as another ethernet card. Also, there will be user accounts on this box, and I'd like to implement quotas. The handbook has a nice how-to, but in /etc/sysconfig I see a warning about turning on quotas. Is this still flakey, and could anyone recommend whether or not the quota system would be OK on a production machine? I've got a third question as well (sorry): What is the upper limit on the amount of memory FreeBSD 2.1 or 2.1.5 will recognize? Any suggestions on these issues are greatly appreciated... As I mentioned currently 2.1 is installed (made the mistake of going thru InfoMagic instead of Walnut Creek) but I'm open to 2.1.5 as soon as the other CD arrives here...
