The company I work for currently uses (please don't laugh) version 2.0 of FreeBSD, at least that is what uname -a says. We sell a turnkey, networking solution, including proprietary hardware and software in a PC running FreeBSD. We are debating moving to 3.3 or 3.4 of FreeBSD, or abandoning FreeBSD in favor of Redhat Linux, version 6.1. I'm fighting against Linux and need some information about FreeBSD that I couldn't find at freebsd.org or elsewhere on the Net: What version of BIND is in the 3.3 and 3.4 versions? What version of Kerberos is supported? Any real time O/S extensions? FreeBSD run on any hardware besides x86? Any *facts* on which is more stable? Any *facts* on which is better for TCP/IP? Do we have to share with the world the source code for our application software, or device drivers? Same or different with Linux? Anyone know about network management software called Dorado? Seems to interface proprietary systems to SNMP. They support FreeBSD? If you answer any of these questions, would you please indicate the source of your information. I can't go to Marketing and Engineering and just say, I got the info from the FreeBSD mailing list- I'll need more credibility than that (no offense:) Thanks, Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
