I have been using FreeBSD 7.0 since Jan 8 2007 CURRENT on this box which is a desktop for browsing and email with a Dual core AMD CPU setup. It rocks. I use FreeBSD 7.0 Current on 2 small mailservers using 3 year old hardware and it is rock solid. I believe the FreeBSD team has really got their act together on this one. (From Experience with FreeBSD: I have run FreeBSD since 3.*on desktops with xfce3 gui. I now run servers for www and postfix as well. ) ~Al Plant - Honolulu, Hawaii - Phone: 808-284-2740 + http://hawaiidakine.com + http://freebsdinfo.org + noc@hdk5.net + + http://internetohana.org - Supporting - FreeBSD 6.* - 7.* + "All that's really worth doing is what we do for others."- Lewis Carrol
