X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.01Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE i386) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: www@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: many thanks for a great implementation of BSD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-www@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk All, I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to the FreeBSD project, or anyone who is listening. I had my first real experience with the FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE today. I had downloaded it a while back but unfortunately hadn't had much of a chance to play with it. Today our Sparc II went down. We were using the system for e-mail, mail lists, web server, etc. I didn't have any other Sun systems available that I could temporarily use, so I decided to try to configure the FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE that I had installed on my Gateway Solo portable. Within hours I had everything running and turned a portable into a fully functional server. Thanks to your web pages, documentation, and a stable release, everything went fine. And I must admit, much smoother than the days when I used to play with BSD 4.3 on a VAX. In fact, much more functional than any out of the box HP, Solaris, DEC, SCO, etc .... system that I have paid to license. I am truly amazed. Dave Horvath Chromatix, Inc.
