Well it has been almost a year now since I first tried FreeBSD 5.2.1 on my production server :-) " I like playing with danger" & since then it has been just giving me 110% always forever ... my FreeBSD server is responsible for transferring large media files on my network with Samba2 & Apache2 . Since I installed it I have had loads of problems with my other Linux & windows servers but never with FreeBSD its just always there for me .. just DELIVERING all the time I must say I have been more then impress with it , I have never seen a better & faster performing server operating system EVER !! also recently I discovered that the version I have been using 5.2.1 was a Beta :-O ... Amazing if this performance you get with a beta then ...... "speechless " so now I smooth upgraded to 5.3 now ... Although I don't think FreeBSD with desktop OS but with server OS I more then recommend . & here is my little success story with FreeBSD .I LOVE IT !!! next stop OpenSolairs .. :-)
take care

I was having problems using mount_smbfs to transfer files. It would throttle itself up and down because of some weird windowing thing windows does. That is what I found on the web anyway.
On a what type of network(some config info please, like any switchs?) do you share files and what is the throughput? I would get between 1-12mbits(it was a while so these numbers might not be right, but it was slow like 10mbit or less). I was transferring tv episodes between 2 pcs on a 100mbit switched network. FreeBSD to windows.
Finnally I would like to ask all those servers/pcs that are mostly idle to run [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you can. Email me if you have any questions on it. It runs itself at nice 20.
Thanks, Jason
