Not to toot any horns or anything, but I've got a FreeBSD based mail server with uptime around 120 days that was only rebooted 4 months ago because of a massive power failure that lasted over 5 hours (otherwise the uptime would be over 200 days) I guess the only point I'm making is: don't be "unhappy with the FreeBSD/OS" be unhappy with iserver for switching to an OS that they don't know how to support/implement/whatever. > PS: Don't tell them I told you so, thank you. With regard to that statement, what would you have me do? Call iServer and say "Hello, I'm a FreeBSD consultant and one of your clients (who wishes me to keep him anonymous) says your servers are all fscked up since you switched to FreeBSD. How can I help."? I can't really come up with a good approach to this (perhaps my salesmanship just isn't as good as it should be) Also, do you realize that you emailed a technical discussion list and that employees of iServer are very likely to be members of this mailing list? -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
