Is it true that FreeBSD´s >much more stable? The stability´s the most important point for us. Depends on what they are doing. I would guess that more end users have Linux, but don't care to guess if FBSD is more popular than Linux in an ISP environment and if there were stats on this I would further like to see a break down on the size of the ISP as well. FWIW, I refuse to admin a Linux box. If a customer has one, I get paid by the hour for help. Opionions and overviews of what to do/use are FOC (and no I don't say dump Linux). All a matter of preference and there are several distributions of Linux to further confuse your choice. My vote to FBSD. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
