To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Wed, 21 Apr 1999 13:06:53 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24/POP] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was wondering how good FBSD 2.2.6 was relatively for server use, still. I have a couple of sets left from the dumping a few months back. Are there any specific reasons it should not be used on an open server? I have been running it on the home net and it seems fine, but that is a closed net, and I don't want to use 2.2.6 if any serious holes remain in it for our university web servers. If it is a little old for server use, which particular FBSD suite should I use, and why? I have no trouble using currents or even 1.1.5.1 on my home toyz, but the boss would freak out if I picked the wrong version for his new servertoyz and something went wrong securitywise or performancewise. I want to put the best foot forward on this because it is competing against other pet MS servers that seem horridly slow compared to my pet server. I want to make sure I do this showserver right, if you know what I mean. Any insights from the FBSD web server guru types are appreciated.
