According to a quick glance at webalizer, they average 2 million hits a day on a heavily perl generated web site. 1:27PM up 239 days, 23:08, 4 users, load averages: 1.52, 1.46, 1.17 3.1-STABLE FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #0: Fri Jul 16 10:27:30 EDT 1999 The only thing I have been keeping upto date on it has been the various applications like bind and apache for security reasons. The customer has not paid me to cvsup/rebuild/reboot etc. They are happy and dont want to change a thing as its been so stable for them. So, is 3.x STABLE a stable system ? Yes, it has been for us, as well as many other people... I have a few dozen or so other 3.x boxes deployed in various production sites. They have done very well for us. I have also started deploying 4.x machines slowly into production... Same positive results. So how about we let this thread die ASAP ? Or move it to -chat. ---Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administrator, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
