I guess we would be the only people to run current or stable on a production machine, and everyone else is using RELEASE? I guess I should have stuck with 4.1x considering all the initial troubles with 5.x, and not go to 6 at all cause heck that can't be near ready considering the obvious ineptitude of freebsd developers, the horrible track record speaks for itself. Or should I run RedHat? ;) [...] Content analysis details: (-2.8 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- -3.4 ALL_TRUSTED Passed through trusted hosts only via SMTP 0.6 J_CHICKENPOX_41 BODY: 4alpha-pock-1alpha Cc: "P.U.Kruppa" , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Yesterday's -STABLE kernel corrupts LAN X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2005 18:34:32 -0000 Chris wrote: >Derrick MacPherson wrote: > > >>My friend posted late last night, on a problem we are seeing, Sub: >>Problem with FreeBSD 6 -STABLE and Dell PowerEdge 2850 spewing arp requests >> >>Pasted here: >> >>Hi All, >> >>I have a problem with FreeBSD 6 -Stable, i built the machine with >>-RELEASE and it's been running fine for the last few weeks..

Or should I run RedHat? ;) Just wanted to contribute to the discussion in a productive manner, and make sure people are aware of issues as well as solve our current issue, but thanks for your input nonetheless. I hope it's sunny over there today, cause it is here. Whoomp.
