To all who have responded, thanks very much for your comments. I am definitely going to try installing FreeBSD. I have a few technical questions though. 0) When Linux runs out of virtual memory, it crashes. What is FreeBSD's behavior under these conditions? 1) What is the standard maximum on the number of open files (system wide and per user) on FreeBSD? How severe is the penalty for increasing these? 2) Linux can use any available free memory for file buffers, so that under light loads some files may end up being accessed entirely from memory. Does FreeBSD do this, or does it do a fixed pool of buffers. Thanks in Advance, pjm -----------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Paul J.
