I'd two DSLs at work from same ISP who provides PPPoE connection with same remote endpoint set in all connections[2]. FreeBSD didn't work for me as expected, and I wasn't familiar with OpenBSD that time. > Could you please mention one weird fantsy that Linux does better? Policy based routing combined with multiple routing tables containing multipath routes. In OpenBSD, you can achieve this using pf's 'route-to', but that's firewall and not routing table. In FreeBSD, this has been possible recently with FIB support it got, but to use it, you've to use ipfw(8), and not pf(8) :( . And, there was not any FreeBSD release since 5.4-BETA3 (my zeroth release) which never panic'd for me, and whereas not every GNU/Linux kernel update panic'd for me. Anyways, BSDs and GNU/Linux both have there pros/cons and both are under development. And IMHO, badmouthing them without proper citations is same as bullshitting. >>> If you guys are planning to java >>>> development and stuff, I would say BSDs are a bad choice. >> >>> kindly elicit on this. >> >> Because no JVM vendor officially supports Java on BSDs, even though there is >> an agreement between FreeBSD Foundation and Sun Microsystems[2] regarding >> Java >> but it's not clear about the support.

I didn't know there are people running Java in production on BSDs. It's nice.
