(besides ftp.cdrom.com :-). > (Like a mail server with some (ten-)thousand mails/day) Well, I'm sure we're not the biggest thing out there, but we run a web-hosting service that handles around 450 sites, generating about 1/2 million hits a day. Also churns through about 3000 email messages a day. All this is handled with FreeBSD with aplomb. We've grown rapidly and the #2 reason our customers give for their high satifaction (second to technical support) is the fact that we're *always* up and running. We might take a machine down *maybe* 5 minutes a month. I attribute this directly to FreeBSD. Other than the Adaptec driver bug, it's been rock-solid. Every day, we get clients from other hosts running NT/Linux/Sun/SCO because "they're always going down." Cliff http://addy.com
