This isn't a true question it is more of statement from what I have come across and what I use and know. I have just come across an article in Zdnet.com that rates FreeBSD as a better server than Linux. The address for this article is http://www.zdnet.com/sr/stories/issue/0,4537,349576,00.html Please go to it and read what it says. Yes the article may be minor but it helps give some very creditable substance to wha twe FreeBSD junkies have been saying for a long long time. We have been saying that FreeBSD might not be the BEST, it still comes close and is more stable and better maintained than most other free Unix Flavors. I currently am relearning it and am using the 2.2.7 version. My next machine will have the 3.0 version installed. I have worked with ISP's in the past and I have always recommended FreeBSD for its ease of use and easy learning curve. Most of the documentation you need for FreeBSD can be had in the online Handbook and then when that resource is depleted it is the manpages and other websites that come to bear and help give more information as to configuration of a webserver or what have you. I have worked with Windows NT 3.5-4.0 and Sure I'm used to my NT but I feel that NT has not come close to the power and stability within FreeBSD. My programs in FreeBSD open up much faster and the tools that are prebuilt into FreeBSD overshadow the tools given to you by NT. Though personally I would still go with the scenerario of a good ISP being that of a mix of both NT and UNIX. There are some niecities to NT but then again that just says I'm lazy..:) Anyway. I just wanted to state my piece about FreeBSD and share with you guys that the good word is going out about FreeBSD. Hey if Ziff Davis takes notice why not some other magazines? :) Yours Truly Tim DiMiceli The ever present learner P.S. Though one thing, NT could never handle the traffic on a website or FTP site that FreeBSD can..just look at the numbers of Walnut Creek and Mircosoft.com. :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
