I have run fbsd on 3 machines at home. One as a ppp router(486/66) for my home lan, just replaced with a cisco, one as an nfs/samba/www/ realvideo,CuSeeme, and src server (486/66), and the last one as my workstation (PPro 200). The 486's were/are running 2.2.2-RELEASE and the PPro is running 3.0-SNAP. I've found the SNAP release to be quite stable for me doing compiles/ a lot of X Stuff etc, but I'm wondering if 3.0-SNAP is stable enought to utilize at an ISP for news. The news server would be a Pent 133, 128MB Mem and 3 drives ccd'd for the actual news articles. Any suggestions re: whether or not I should venture down this road. Should I wait for 2.2.5 (although that like it might be too far down the road for my needs). Thanks, -- Al President Al Johnson Consulting
