Since i cannot judge by own experience, i'll >simply pass this on uncommented. I can. We've been running a FTP/http/www-proxy for some years under Linux. Now I switched the mess (really a mess, old Slackware Distribution with lots of chaos in there ;) to FreeBSD and I got what I expected: FreeBSD performs much more better than Linux under high load (it's smoother) and, the most important thing, networking is better (more stable and faster). And no more hassels with this libc/kernel/gcc version conflicts that annoy you regularly. Btw, speaking about libs... is there now a XFree linked against libc.so.3? I knew someone was talking about it, is it available now? Olaf -- There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands.
