(though at the moment i have some anomalities with the pre-lite2 kernel, but it's nothing serious, machine does run and is not killing processes) server is under "load" running small news server and lots of things on many xterms and screens... and there are few remote users... so, in other words, i am most pleased customer, thank you devteam. and even tho i run 2.1.x on real production servers at work, i've played with the thought of putting -current there too, for different reasons, but then again, i need an "excuse" for myself to be subscribed to the cdroms... beside /usr/ports/distfiles would take "lots" of drive space. mickey -- mika ruohotie mika@aeon.net mickey@supsys.fi net/sys admin
