Opinions welcome. > > --Brett Glass I've got 9.1-RC2 running on 2 amd64 boxes both using ZFS root builds and 2 i386 platforms one desktop and one netbook. The amd64 boxes are one file server (NFS/SMB) and one KDE4 photography work-flow desktop/proofing station. Moving large files/video streaming over lagg0 (LACP) gig-E lines no worries so far (knock knock). Both many core large ram systems. The 2 i386's are just screw-around desktops (web email etc..) but no problems there either. As for routers I always use OpenBSD there just out of old habit more than any technical reason and 5.2 is working great there...for the past 22 hours at least :) looking forward to RC3 or release -- Eric S Pulley
