I'd like to know this too because I'm going through an exercise right now helping a provider build a more stable and effective fullfeed news server than what they have. The cost of RAID is a bit steep for this provider and as a result we've been leaning towards Linux with md. There are a few things about FreeBSD that I don't understand well enough right now. One of them is software RAID striping and it sounds like ccd does this? Another one is whether FreeBSD supports MMAP. And then there is the whole NNRPD shared active thingy. There have already been a couple of messages that make me think FreeBSD might be the better choice of OS here. Since running an effective fullfeed USENET news server is getting harder and harder these days I'm sure that there are others who would welcome hearing about how it is done.
