I am just wondering if my totally-happy-FreeBSD-user days are coming to an end. I need to instal a couple of servers, with two 200 MHz Pentium Pro processors each one; but I'm not sure about the idea of using FreeBSD-current (the only tree including SMP) for a serious application... you know... I don't want the system crashing unexplainably, or any sort of weird behaviour (I plan to use PostgreSQL and manage big databases on those servers). Please give me some advise... Should I try another free OS? 9if so, which one?) Or should I stick with FreeBSD and take the risk of running -current? (If I can't find a suitable free OS, I will probably be another victim of Bill Gates; so, please HELP :-) Thanks in advance!
