It's my R&D box for Windows and I also test some stuff using VMWare when I run out of R&D boxes for FreeBSD. Not my first choice, but it is nice for running multiple OS's. As a side note - at this point I'm not all that worried about running 4.6 To be honest, I decided to install it on my R&D box along with a laptop I am trying to revive only to do ipsec and backup testing... I don't see what advantage 4.6 gives me over 4.5 for what I am doing... Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
