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 serveral other FreeBSD servers doing various jobs.. along with quite a few Solaris 2.9 machines. Everything has it's place and Linux can not solve every issue... don't get me wrong .. I love Linux and have for going on 10 years but the issues in 9.2 were real and did piss me right off. I just don't have time to muck about with stuff. When I installed FC3 an the issue wasn't there.. when I installed Gentoo and the issue was there... I came to the conclusion that it was 9.2. I've seen half-baked releases from SUSE in the last 10 years. It's not like every release is super polished and has absolutely nothing wrong with it. They are better then most I would say, but by no means perfect.
As far as hardware support.. not a problem. I build machines to run OS's .. I've done this since I started use Linux / UNIX. I don't just go buy an eMachine and think it should just work. I do the leg work prior to that so I don't have to add to my grey hair. ;)
In any event.. 9.3 works great. I won't be upgrading these machines until 9.3 gets EOL'ed anyway. So it's all good. :)
I have to ask... Why (and what) do you run on the FreeBSD boxes that you don't run on SuSE 9.3? TIA -- Thanks, George ``One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know,``''Animal Crackers,'' 1930.
