A friend of mine who runs a web hosting and anonymous ftp server has been running 3.1 Release for about 2 months without even so much as a reboot . The box is on a 100mbit connection at a data center. He also has a shell service on the same box. The box recently set a record for the amount of data served from any client at the data center. The second closest client which has a whole room full of SGI and SUN machines was only using about half as much data. The machine is a P2-450 with x3 16 GIG IBM ide drives and 512 meg ram. He has just changed another box in a different country to FreeBSD 3.2 release from Solaris 2.7 ( x86 ) because of problems. It is now running 3.2 Release and everything seams great. Solaris 2.7 dosent like ide drives over 8 gig which isnt good considering IBM make 22 gig IDE drives now.
