That depends what you are doing, I suppose. I have the following: 5:21PM up 22 days, 1:20, 1 user, load averages: 0.18, 0.19, 0.14 FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (UNINET) #0: Fri Jul 11 15:07:18 SAT 1997 This is one of 5 dual-P5 (256MB RAM, 24GB disk) machines running as a nationwide news and web cache network. The machines each handle a relatively full newsfeed (feeding sites, no readers) and full cache traffic for a few universities and smaller educational/research institutions. As you may note, 22 days ago was when I did the upgrade to that version of -current. No problems with it (or the others) at all. There are no performance problems and in fact I expect the machines to be able to take a _lot_ more than they are getting. I upgrade the machines (remotely) using CVSup and a make world every couple of months (at the most). What a pleasure. :-) Many thanks to the FreeBSD team. -Russell
