Has FreeBSD 2.0-SNAP (something) gotten to the point where it is stable yet? We tried the first SNAP release and couldn't keep it up for 24 hours, where as with 1.1.5.1 w/patches we have uptimes of 30+ days. Keep in mind, there are 3 user login machines, with 3 main server machines, all being used for Internet access and being beaten on pretty severly (Ie: Full news feed, mailing lists, 20+ people at once using POP server, WEB server, and FTP server each as well as reading news, and doing other "misc" things). Is anybody else in a similar situation that can report on their uptimes with the latest FreeBSD? I'd love to switch, but last time we did, it pissed alot of people off.. Kept crashing in the middle of them doing things. -- Rob === Innovative Data Services Serving South-Eastern Michigan Internet Service Provider / Hardware Sales / Consulting Services Voice: (810)348-0000 / Fax: (810)348-9430 / Web: http://www.id.net
