I'd not noticed that, bummer. At least a lot of ATA boards and sata controllers support hw raid now. >Does it even have a journalled fs? I won't go without one anymore.

Also journaling is being implemented in DFlyBSD, user space above soft updates, but this is to accommodating rapid sync multi-homed cluster filesystems (multi-path hd updates, with short interval global locking). >commercial support if you ever want to run a commercial application on >it.

Less driver development has been continuous, typically more focus on doing it right vs getting it done as is with linux. There is NUMA support in FreeBSD (others?), in fact I think that's where it its best implemented. Fewer driver support but the higher quality, more expensive devices, are generally very stable. >support also. More people are familiar with Linux if you are looking for >employees.

Thanks to /usr/ports I've been able to automagically build apps and their dependencies which I couldn't resolve in Linux. There's gentoo, but I sorta decided on BSD when I'm not running Ubuntu or Debian. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
