Not really. I have 12 fairly large USENET servers running FreeBSD 4.9 and they've been up and available for months... no issues. I have
I have to ask... Why (and what) do you run on the FreeBSD boxes that you don't run on SuSE 9.3?
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. ;) -Ben -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."
