Do you think that Yahoo and a bunch of other major sites would be running FreeBSD if random reboots were common? Please, give the developers and users credit for a few brains at least!!! We aren't fools, you know. If your going to draw conclusions about how well FreeBSD runs on the basis of it's performance on a _single_ machine, then I think you probably should go back to Linux. I can pick _single_ machines out of the woodwork that Linux randomly reboots on and FreeBSD doesen't. That proves absolutely nothing to me. Does it prove anything to you? Face the fact that your hardware has a bug that is tickled by something in FreeBSD and is not tickled by something in Linux. You have only 2 choices: you can go back to an OS that's known as stable on your hardware or you can start ripping into your hardware and swapping items to try to find out the problem. At the least you really should verify that your hardware isn't overheating, overclocked, power supply overloaded, bios settings off the norm, etc. etc. Ted Mittelstaedt tedm@toybox.placo.com Author of: The FreeBSD Corporate Networker's Guide Book website: http://www.freebsd-corp-net-guide.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
