Not to "compare sizes", but:
7:05PM up 101 days, 7:17, 5 users, load averages: 1.35, 1.35, 1.24
A heavier load and a very stable 3.4-STABLE machine... I still don't
know what you (Didier that is) are whining about... Just follow the
rules:
1/ Buy reliable hardware
2/ Install a stable OS (FreeBSD)
3/ Use well tested applications, either native coded for FreeBSD or
using its GNU/Linux binary compatibility
Oh, and...
9/ Make regular backups and test them once-in-a-while. Just because
hardware tends to break down when you least expect it... :(
