I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.10, and would like to upgrade to a 5.x because of the superior jail support. Which version would you recommend for someone who's really interested in jail support, but doesn't like to live dangerously? Of my hardware, the only item of note is that I use FreeBSD 4.10's ehci driver for USB 2.0 devices. One of the notes in /usr/src/UPDATING was that GCC had been upgraded from my current 2.95 to 3.4 and there are known compatibility problems with the ABI (what's an ABI? the .so's?) Will this upgrade force me to recompile all of my existing C++ stuff, e.g. Postgres and PostGIS, or will my existing binaries continue to run? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
