The most reliable machine I ever had (and still have) is a VAXstation 3100, running NetBSD. That's rather off-topic wrt your question though but it's my opinion that whatever off-the-shelf PC hardware you buy these days, you'll never reach the robustness of the well designed and engineered minis and workstations from about 10-15 years ago. --mkb To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
