Either. I've had 2.2-971014-SNAP as a everything-I-can-think-of-to-show-
off-the-advantages-of-a-real-OS server since January where I work. Solid
as a rock, does DNS,HTTP,DHCP,NNTP,SMTP,POP3,NTP,proxy,cache x 2,socks,
firewall and NetBIOS.
It's been up 77 days now and the only problem has been the occasional
keyboard lock (fixed in 2.2.*-RELEASE, recoverable using a simple
"setcon" program).
