>> uptime 2 years! Congratulations. Long uptimes should be shared, so as to encourage people to consider FreeBSD for long-term stability. Thank you for posting. Through this discussion the lazy administrator topic came up... In regards to that, we must keep in mind, 'stability,' pertains not only to run-time stability but also to temporal stability and general quality of the design and implementation of the original code base. If an administrator has to make offline kernel patches every week to fix a glaring security hole, something was wrong with the sofware's original design or implementation. Regardless, mistakes do occur, so keep your system up for as long as you can, but don't forget to watch the security reports for things that would directly affect that specific server. All things in moderation. >>Sorry to bother you...You know, you could just leave well enough alone if you don't >>care. There goes any future donations from me and my organization as this is >>more than the first untactful email I recieved from this, I'll donate and use other >>platforms. Please don't send any other emails Don't let a few sour grapes get you down. I think it's cool. -Modulok-
