I feel your pain. I so much want to use FreeBSD. We've used Red Hat Linux for years, but I have 20 odd servers that are running 7.2 which is no longer supported by Red Hat. The cheapest I could get support for would be $150/server if I install Enterprise Desktop. I was going to go with Debian, but I'm having a devil of a time with the Broadcomm ethernet versus Woody, the "stable" Debian release. I'm in the midst of building a custom kernel to see if I can get it up and running. I really like the FreeBSD model, having used SunOS for years. But having the RAID controller unreliable makes this a non-starter. It is especially frustrating to see how well the PERC raid driver works. It behaves exactly the way you would expect. Hope you have better luck in the future. Paul Lutt Fluke Corporation paul.lutt@fluke.com
