How's this look vis-a-vis 3.2-RELEASE: FreeBSD World Wide Web Support HTTP server Std HTTP proxy Std HTTP accelerator ??? SSL2 ??? SSL3 ??? Java Std ActiveX MSP (bleh!) XML ??? Local Database mSQL, MySQL, Postgres Yes Remote Database mSQL, MySQL, Postgres Yes FrontPage server extensions (Use the BSDI version - doh!) 3rd E-Mail Support SMTP server Std POP3 server Std IMAP server Std Usenet News Support NNTP server Std FTP Support FTP server Std VPN Support IPsec ??? ISAKMP ??? PPTP ??? Development Tools HTML editor Std Perl Std Python Std C and C++ Compilers & Tools Std Fortran Compiler & Tools Std Java Compiler & Tools Std Source Code Available Yes Network Services DNS Std NTP Std Dialup Support PPP Std Multi-Link PPP Std SLIP Std RADIUS Authentication Std RAS MSP ??? Security Kerberos Std IP Packet Filters Std Management SMNP Tools (Too bad they can't spell SNMP, huh?) BIY Huh? Remote Administration Std Pager Interface Std Reliability Uptimes > 1 year Std Y2K Compliant Yes Advanced Features IPv6 It was developed on FreeBSD!
