And I still have never lost a production machine to a FreeBSD crash. In what must be over 25 machine-years of administering them. Meanwhile I've watched those around me with proprietary operating systems lose everything.. in one case, running a demo program in Visual Foxpro caused a colleague's Windows 98 system to crash and never boot again. Now it's been about two months since the power outage.. aaa up 66+21:30, 0 users, load 0.10, 0.10, 0.08 bbb up 66+21:09, 2 users, load 0.34, 0.33, 0.32 ccc up 66+21:03, 0 users, load 0.01, 0.03, 0.00 ddd up 66+20:39, 0 users, load 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 ... -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
