I've seen it running, and we're doing what we can to evaluate it in-house with the FreeBSD Mall folks, but I can't comment on how it performs in production. As for commitment; Relex are a fairly large organisation (about 100 developers), and they have a sales/support branch in the USA, so I'm fairly comfortable with their level of commitment. It's hard to give any sort of certain answer, of course. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
