Jordan (and the rest of the team): Hi Some time ago I saw either a usenet posting or a message on one of ther FreeBSD lists that described Freefall's configuration. (I recall something about a Pentium CPU, 96MB of RAM, 30 GB of SCSI disk and do on) (or was it WCArchive?) Anyway, at the time, the machine was running 1.1.5.1 with some stability patches. I showed this to my colleagues at work, and they were _impressed_. Some time later, (now), I have been asked to to get a news server running A.S.A.P., and it is agreed that 1.1.5.1 is the way to go. (2.0 has too many bugs, and they are too keen to get going to wait for 2.1 no matter how I try to sell it. They/we will not run -current) Now: Those "stability patches" that were mentioned. May I have a copy please? Also, any pointers to getting this configuration as stable as possible as a company's news/name/anything server. The machine is a 486DX2/66 32MB with an Adaptec 1542c (I know about the need for bounce buffers), and it will start out life with 3GB of disk, split as 1GB/2GB. Apart from that, the motherboard is known to be good, and the disks are from HP and DEC, so I don't think we will have any hassles there.. Thanks!
