Sorry. I wrote because
(a) the more knowledgable people often don't answer such general questions
(including this one, so far, at least on-list)
(b) the release notes clearly discourage you from using 4.0 unless you're
an early adopter or developer; that seems quite factual to me
(c) I myself was ticked off long ago for talking about problems in
3.0, since it was not meant for newbies (this was in a private mail)
(d) maybe my mention of linux or other BSD's offended you (I expected
that), but it's a fact that linux works well for us on the alpha. It's
compatible with all our hardware and is fast and stable, for our
kind of load. I advocate FreeBSD readily when appropriate but I'm not
religious about it. This case looks clearly inappropriate to me.
So, if you disagree with any of that, it would have been nice if you
had corrected me rather than just send such an uninformative message.
Rahul.
