Like everything, I learned about this the hard way. I installed NTP on a webserver. This required glibc version whats-its. No prob. Got NTP working. New glibc. All my servers are synced. I think I am cool. The next day, the woman who processed all of our orders said, "I didn't get any orders today. Is something wrong?" Grck! Rxph! ACk! I never even considered that there would be a problem. FreeBSD upgrades all sorts of stuff all the time and its nevera problem. Why would Linux be any different? (ahh, naivete) IMO, this is the simplest and most easily convincing reason FreeBSD is better than Linux. Jason C.
