MySQL seems fast and stable, but there is a problem with file descriptor limits under FreeBSD. This should'nt be a problem if you dedicate a machine to it. But don't try to run anything like Squid or INN on the same server... It uses MIT-Pthreads on -stable, but in current you can (and should) use kernel threads. I didn't notice any difference in stability though (no crashes ever safe this nasty 'too many open files'). btw: It was running with a limit of infinity (which means something like 640 to FreeBSD). >FreeBSD really needs a decent commercial DBMS.
