yeah, freebsd is great for inet servers for sure. the only reason i dont use it for our lan servers is that fbsd limits the server fps to like 50 (or, it used to at least) do a host_speeds 1 in your console, and see what happens.

The ping has been around 70-80ms in-game lately for most of our players. After I installed FreeBSD they suddenly had around 50ms latency in-game !?! And that was even after I added HLGuard which was not installed on linux... So I've spend most of the day to install FreeBSD instead of linux on all of our servers. I also like the way you can install software with ports, I might even change to FreeBSD on my laptop :) Well, this is the end of the �ber high-tech test. The conclusion is to switch to FreeBSD ;) /Oscar, www.bhood.nu Kevin J.
