Hello everybody, I have spent a lot of time on FreeBSD.org web pages, but I still can not find VERY SIMPLE answer for this question: what version of FreeBSD should I use ? I need system which is VERY STABLE, with as few possibilities to hack as possible (the best is absolutely closed :-) ), running only named, sendmail, samba, apache, php, perl, and firewall. It will be used also as a gateway to I-net for small company, so it MUST be SAFE, STABLE and nice. That is what I want. On the other side, it is possible to download FreeBSDs from 4.7 to 5.1. Currently, I run 4.3, and I have problems, because there is no milter support in sendmail, I can not use some commercial SW as it wants higher version etc. But I like it... I think, older is better, but I will not have support for some new technologies. And I think, the newest is good, but all new SW has some bugs - meaning it's UNSAFE. Less bugs = BETTER and SAFER life. What is your consideration - what version should I use ? Peter Rosa
