There are 100s of threads on here, many of them of no use, so why do you read them if you're not curious about it? It seems the most important "question" one could ask about FreeBSD is whether you should run 4.x or 5.x, and they always tell you to run 5.x because it suits the needs of Windbag River for guinea pigs. As long as you know you're a guinea pig, then you have your answer. I thought it was worth noting for the masses who unwittingly believe that a higher number release means better performance by default. Note that it also took quite a bit a beating to get them to admit that 1) They dont know the answer to the Subject or 2) Yahoo runs something quite different than what is available generally since they've "substantially" modified it. I yield the floor to the fat man in the toupee.
