These machines run inhouse written USENET news feed servers as said above. When this software was originally written it was developed for *BSD because Linux couldn't handle the load and there were certain things that the developer of said software needed that BSD provided. I didn't write the code so I don't know what these things were. My main point was that FreeBSD isn't a PITA, it runs well on current hardware and I have no issue with it. :) I suppose he could bring his software over to Linux if he chose to do so.. but why bother when we have no issues with these machines at present and moving it serves no purpose. It would be work that would take time away from his other projects.. which involves the SUSE servers. ;)

Just wondering... What you say makes $ence- I know a few folks that love them as web and email boxes, and others that have them as firewalls. I thought about giving it a go, in my free time. ;) -- Thanks, George If Olive oil comes from olives, Corn oil comes from corn, Peanut oil comes from peanuts, Fish oil comes from fish, Where does baby oil come from?
