Do you really read every thread? There are 100s of threads on here, many
of them of no use, so why do you read them if you're not curious about it?

It seems the most important "question" one could ask about FreeBSD is 
whether you should run 4.x or 5.x, and they always tell you to run 5.x 
because it suits the needs of Windbag River for guinea pigs. As long as 
you know you're a guinea pig, then you have your answer. I thought it 
was worth noting for the masses who unwittingly believe that a higher 
number release means better performance by default.

Note that it also took quite a bit a beating to get them to admit that 

1) They dont know the answer to the Subject 
or
2) Yahoo runs something quite different than what is available generally since
they've "substantially" modified it.

I yield the floor  to the fat man in the toupee.
