I saw it too and was tempted to buy it. FreeBSD has a (probably deserved) reputation for beating Linux at server tasks. (If anyone is interested, I can dig up some articles.) The only reason I didn't buy it goes something like "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't." Are any of you using FreeBSD on Internet (or, for that matter, large intranet) servers? I would like to hear you opinions. I have finished installing Apache, PHP4, and MySQL (along with Perl glue) on a dual Pentium Pro server and am about to install Zope so I can compare the two ways of serving pages on the fly. I've used Zope before but am still a novice. Any opinions, advice, et cetera, appreciated.
