Hello - I have to build a new server today. It will be a heavy usage web, email, and MySQL server, on the public internet. My question: the latest FreeBSD versions were released just last week. Which FreeBSD version is the most stable for this server? It has to be hugely stable, I mean rock solid, no downtime whatsoever (pending a sys-admin goof). Most of my experience has been on 3.x, and those boxes are extremely stable, on the order of multi-month uptime (a couple over a year). Is 4.1 ready for prime time? Or should I use my old install media and stick with 3.x? I have 4.0-RELEASE one a few boxes, and they are OK, but they don't have the track record the 3.x machines have. Opinions and comments appreciated. Thanks. - John Turner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
