We are also running Sniffer on FreeBSD with IMGate Advanced. It is probably
a good idea for Sniffer to support FreeBSD rev 6.x and 7.x with the FreeBSD
pkg and port systems. With pkg update, it is very easy to maintain
applications.

Thanks,
Harry

We have our mail gateway running Sniffer on FreeBSD, but when we rebuild
it we will either go with Ubuntu linux or a Windows based solution.
This is not to bash FreeBSD.  We just don't have the expertise in house
to support it.

Subject: [sniffer] favorite / best *nix distributions in the Sniffer
community.

Hello Sniffer Folks,

We are nearing completion of a significantly upgraded set of SNF
distributions for *nix systems (BSD, OSX, Linux, etc.) We will soon be
releasing Client/Server and Milter distributions built with autotools
to simplify the installation process and make things "more normal" and
"less tricky" for each platform.

While RedHat has a high profile and market share in the server realm,
it is often a challenge to cope with how far behind it is in software
versions. I often wonder: Is RH perhaps it is too stable?

I would really like to know your opinions on which distributions are
most popular in our community and why. What about maintenance? Support
from hosting providers? Other issues that matter more to you folks?

This discussion will help us fine tune our next releases and might
also help some of us get a handle on what really is best practice on
these platforms these days.

Thanks!

_M
