This is a public list and majority of people who post/respond here aren't FreeBSD Foundation workers but users of this great OS. At least I see the need to separate the two. So if people are playing kind of rude, just ignore them. I was glad to hear that FreeBSD proved useful to you, as it is proving useful to me and an NGO I work for. I could give you hips of examples when thanks to this list I have learnt something useful or was given useful advice. And two years ago I knew nothing about Unix or Linux. Thanks to this list I can manage FreeBSD (almost) on my own. :) But the discussion that followed made me realize that uptime is not everything. I also love to see huge uptimes on my servers but if anything this discussion brought it home to me that more than anything I need to take care of security updates which I do. All the best, -- Zbigniew Szalbot
