Hi Lanny, From: "Lanny Baron" <lnb@FreeBSDsystems.com> ["Our Servers do work with FreeBSD"] > So in short, and yes this is repetitive, if you or the other fellow had > chosen us to build you a Server, you and the other fellow would not have > encountered the SMP problem and, you would still be running FreeBSD. Even worse, multiple times... "FreeBSD SMP for Lannys servers"? ;) And, no, why should we buy (a) from the US and (b) from a "small" OEM? Working in a european-wide company has some side effects - for example a policy to buy only specific servers from specific vendors (which have to be available in all that countrys). So, there are only the "Big Players", f.ex. HP, SUN, ...´ Back to track: this is no solution; buying hardware by OS needs and not by system needs/policy/[insert-any-other-reason]. If the OS doesn't work with a standard hardware it's simply of no use. Don't get me wrong, I WANT to use FreeBSD - but this isn't my choice anymore if it does not run on our typical hardware. I hate to use Linux and I definately hate to use Solaris (and even pay for that crap). > Regards, > Lanny Oliver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the messagehelp
