Of course... we just have to move it to -chat

Here's a box that I'll call FreeBSD, it's an Ipsilon router (now Nokia).
It's essentially FreeBSD 2.1.7 with mods to the net stuff similar to ALTQ
plus OSPF and other routing goodies - with a nice web frontend for
configuring it all:

ipsilon# uptime
7:22AM  up 747 days, 21:27, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
ipsilon# uname -a
IPSO ipsilon.inch.com 2.1        IPSO 2.1 #1: Thu Jan 8 15:00:54 PST 1998 
jre@tower.ipsilon.com:/net/servo/home/jre/2.1/src/sys/compile/IPSROUTER    

I'm damn impressed with the stability we're at now.  Even my workstation
running X, lots of Netscape windows, flash plugin, you name it:

root@ass[/usr/ports/net/mrtg]# uptime
 2:08PM  up 113 days, 22:23, 1 user, load averages: 1.07, 1.03, 1.01
root@ass[/usr/ports/net/mrtg]# uname -a
FreeBSD ass.inch.com 3.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE #0: Tue Jan 25
13:53:27 EST 2000     spork@ass.inch.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SUPER-2

And my reboot was to add a drive and go up to 3.4-RELEASE.

What a goddamned fantastic OS this is.  Kudos to all!

Charles
