We got a new server, a dual pentium pro 200. Our old server was running FreeBSD, so it was nice to just stay with this OS so that we would be sure that all our services would continue to work on the new machine. Well, now we (my boss mostly) are anxious to get the new server up to its full potential. I want to try FreeBSD SMP but I want to know how likely it will work well enough for our needs and how hard it would be to go back to a UP system if it doesn't work out. Any help/comments would be appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------- = Kyle Wayman kwayman@ee.calpoly.edu = = System Administrator office: 805-756-1390 = = EE Department, Cal Poly, SLO page: 805-542-5777 = ----------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
