The system is not stable :( Alas :( I'd have to disagree with that. I supped current on 5-29 which was just before 2.0.5A was rolled, only some fixes to NFS were added to 2.0.5R. Anyways, system uptime is now 26 days. Before that it was up about two weeks before it was interrupted by a power failure. System is running e-mail and some usenet. You also seem to forget that ftp.cdrom.com runs FreeBSD. Or don't you consider that a server? > Nodoby apparently is working on those mysterious lock-ups. > What's the position of the chief architect - Jordan ? The core team is not a babysitting service.

We rely on XFree86 for that, which is exactly what Linux uses too. Tom
