Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I'm not quite sure how to classify this email I am sending to you at the FreeBSD project site. However, I am looking for input, and wondering from your perspective what can be done, if anything. Perhaps you guys even know someone at iServer (http://www.iserver.com).... We use iServer servers for hosting web sites. They used to use BSD/OS and have switched over to FreeBSD and we were at first excited, but the excitement has become huge frustration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright (c) 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994 The Regents of the University of California.

FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE (VKERN) #0: Wed Feb 21 16:54:55 MST 2001 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Their FreeBSD servers seem incapable of staying UP more than a handful or two of days, with many servers down every few days. We cannot get a reasonable explanation of why. We are in short very unhappy with the FreeBSD/OS at this time because of it. Now I know that flies in the face of the FreeBSD organization's motto of being built by a Board of Directors and core groups of organized people, leading to a stable OS. Well at iServer I have not found that to be true, sadly. I don't know what is wrong. Maybe you guys can set them straight, because it is harming the FreeBSD persona. iServer is a great company, but I think they need some help. Thanks! pb PS: Don't tell them I told you so, thank you.
