In general, an operating system should be used for what it does best. If FreeBSD doesn't run INN very well, use Solaris or Linux. And don't upgrade production servers without making sure the new operating system version can handle the job well. At WebMaster, we have NT servers, Linux servers, FreeBSD servers, Sparc servers, and an Irix server. We use each machine for what it does best. > ah, okay, so you are saying that FreeBSD shouldn't be demonstrated using > software that taxes/tweaks bugs in it? Yes, that's how demonstrations work.

I'm sorry, no operating system is best for everything. > personal, sounds like something Microsoft would do, not something that > *I'd* want to base a decision on. Actually, Microsoft would probably tell you NT is best for everything and there's no reason to ever consider any other operating system.
