As I understand it, 6.0 is primarily concentrating on improving some of the major stuff introduced in 5.x, and shouldn't take nearly as long to become a stable platform. Even so, conventional wisdom generally warns against using any X.0 release for critical applications, but that depends on your definition of critical and your level of tolerance for excitement. You really shouldn't think of 6.0 as like a usual .0 release, so handle with care, but more like 5.4 plus extra optimization and stability fixes. We spent nearly 6 months during the release cycle on stress-testing and fixing stability bugs, and that hard work resulted in a lot of fixes to long-standing bugs that have existed since FreeBSD 5.x. In addition to the improved stability, performance is much better than 5.4 in several areas. Naturally there may be some regressions, but in the average case 6.0 seems to be an outstanding release of FreeBSD no matter what version number you give it.

adding a second hard drive
To solve a problem I'm having with /var running out of space, I decided to add a second hard drive. I found info at freebsd.org on adding disks using sysinstall and followed the advice. The old disk is a Maxtor 6Y080L0 80G as ad0 and the new disk is a Maxtor 6Y120P0 as ad3. I ran sysinstall, chose ad3 and parition it with: / 512M, /swap 2G, /tmp 3G, /var 4G, /usr 30G, /data 76G. Did an installation with Kern source and documentation. Added a new user, and set a password for root. I added the FreeBSD boot manager. I rebooted to ad0 (didn't have the FreeBSD boot manager on this drive yet), and found I could no longer login as the regular user and that my root password was the one I had just set up on ad3. I adduser my old login and assigned it the original ID and got back the settings in my home directory, although I don't know what I've doen to the configuration files in /etc. I tried to put the FreeBSD boot manager on ad0 with: boot0cfg -B ad0 but get an erro: boot0cfg: open /de/ad0: no such file or directory I've googled this problem but have found little help except that it shouldn't happen and it should be reported. I'm running FreeBSD 5.4 stable. I'm temped to start over from scratch but would hate to lose everythin on ad0 without first transferring it to ad3. I've tried to mount ad3 and ad3c (the only references to ad3 in /dev) using: mount /dev/ad3 /mnt/bigdrive but get an error: mount: /dev/ad3 on /mnt/bigdrive: incorrect super block So I'm pretty lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent 4-5 hrs googling for solutions but nothing seems to work. thanks in advance Dave ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD 6 DVD
Dear sirs, I would like to know when you will release the official FreeBSD 6 DVD so I can purchase it from FreeBSDMall. Also I want to know what is including this DVD. I think must be like other UNIX-like environments that have all the OS files plus some extra software that you can download them from the Internet. If so I will be very happy. I am using FreeBSD for a few months and up to now I am very satisfied with its usage. Also recommend me some good books how to administer or install properly a FreeBSD server.

RE: Status of 6.0 for production systems
There are some things broken in 5.4 that are still broken in 6.0 with regards to support of older hardware. In particular the ida driver is a mess - EISA support in that was busted years ago, then 5.X busted support for more 'modern' systems like the Compaq 1600R HP DL series of systems are kind of a moving target anyway, unfortunately. For those sytems I still use 4.11 (in fact I just setup 2 new 4.11 production systems two days ago) However, 6.0 is a requirement for currently shipping hardware, in particular the Intel series of boxed server motherboards, if you want to use raid and sata drives, since Intel seems to like to change it's motherboard chipsets as fast as most people change their underpants. I'm actually building a 6.0 production server today. (5.4 and earlier will not recognize the disk array) It would be nice if we could get more support for SATA raid in the atacontrol program.

Out of range starting Xorg on dual display
I've got a dual display setup, and it had been working fine once I finally got the config done. They're two displays running off one graphics card, one through the DVI output and one through the D-SUB. Today I had to switch the inputs that the monitors use, and it just doesn't work anymore. I get a message on my left display that says Out of range. This isn't an Xorg or FreeBSD error, it's a message from the displays built-in HUD. This doesn't make any sense because as far as Xorg is concerned, there shouldn't be any difference. The D-SUB display should be on the left, and the DVI one should be on the right. I really don't understand what could be causing a problem, but for what it's worth, the display now connected to the D-SUB has always been more finicky than my other display. They're a ViewSonic vp201 (D-SUB) and Dell 2001fp (DVI).

Yes only Mysqld would crash. Sometimes brb and autorestart with minimal damage. Other times it would die a horrible death and damage tons of data on its way out. I want to try FreeBSD 5.4 AMD64 (the machines are Opteron) or 6.0 but my boss feels that would be a waste given that MYSQL doesn't support Mysql on AMD64 well enough. I think it would be a good idea to try this. It's one of the things that we intend to do in-house as soon as we can reproduce the problem at all. Yes however as I pointed out.. Just Trying things on a production database is not desirable without some serious indicators that its worthwhile. Last you wrote you said you doubted that would do anything I believe. Also support for amd64 based mysql is listed as Limited. As you said reproducing the problem is the key. However as I suggested I would have thought that if mysql were really into solving the problem, someone would have requested a login on the box to look at our queries to see how they are. Are they 60% reads 40% writes, are they many divergent queries bundled together.. etc. IE come and see our production database in action to see what needs to be replicated. I haven't seen anything like this. Now I don't know much but to me if I can't replicate something it's becouse I don't know enough about it.

Upgrading to 6.0 - Would this backup strategy work?
Hello, I'm thinking of upgrading my 5.4 box to 6.0 mainly becuase I've never done a buildworld I've always installed a fresh. The box is not production quality just something for me to learn BSD on. I have a 7006-2 3ware raid controller miroring on 2 drives. If I was to remove one of the drives and then do the upgrade if the upgrade was successful I could put the other drive in a build the array again. If it failedi could use the old drive to rebuild a working system quickly. Anyone see any issues with this?

fresh binary install. 6.0 is quite an amazing release... The speed
is remarkable. My machine goes way faster than it did before.

a waste of time if there is no performance gain, and it's easy to screw up.)
I have no trouble following docs, so I'm not really worried about blowing
everything up in the process (even though I might haha...) I'm just wondering
if there are any real (noticeable) performance increases if I build my kernel

more appreciated in the case of DO NOT USE -br34k-all when compiling __ ;)

One thing I noticed about portsnap that is either a feature or not is it doesn't catch changes you make in the tree. For example if you modify a port's Makefile and that port isn't part of the update it won't change, with cvsup it will. For setting up a new, clean port tree portsnap is wonderful, much faster than cvsup and probably way easier on the servers as well. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is the flash drive in question: http://www.supermediastore.com/pqi-cool-drive-256mb-usb-20-usb-flash-drive.html I have uhci, usb, umass, scbus, pass and da built into the kernel; uhci0: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xc400-0xc41f irq 21 at device 16.0 on p ci0 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb0: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xc800-0xc81f irq 21 at device 16.1 on p ci0 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb1: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd000-0xd01f irq 21 at device 16.2 on p ci0 uhci2: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb2: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci3: VIA 83C572 USB controller port 0xd400-0xd41f irq 21 at device 16.3 on p ci0 uhci3: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb3: VIA 83C572 USB controller on uhci3 usb3: USB revision 1.0 uhub3: VIA UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub3: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered I do get a funny message about a device without a driver: pci0: serial bus, USB at device 16.4 (no driver attached) But I suspect that is the USB 2.0 device, which isn't recognized because I don't have ehci in my kernel.

Incorrectly followed steps to re-sync vinum subdisk
Tonight while checking a few things on my personal machine I noticed that one of my vinum sub disks was stale. Included below are the steps I took attempting to remedy this. Clearly I did not follow the proper procedures and now the volume is un-mountable. Currently when I attempt to mount the /export filesystem the machine panics and reboots. My apologies in advance for the length of information included. I include it so that it might aid in recovery of the data on this filesystem. It has been cleaned up a bit but am happy to provide the full output with the multiple help command output. Shortly after the command sequence included the machine rebooted. Since then I have booted in to single user mode and commented out /export from fstab. The machine is fully functioning with the exception of the important data on /export. If anyone doesn't believe I will be able to recover the data on my own but does know of a company that might be able to recover data written on a vinum mirror would you send me their name?

This problem does not occur with portsnap to any significant extent; updating once an hour uses less than 1% extra bandwidth compared to updating every day. Anyway, I've fallen in love with portsnap. Is there any reason in the world why a normal user (eg one that doesn't need to fetch a version of ports from a specific date or tag) shouldn't completely switch to portsnap today? The other common reason for being unable to use portsnap is if a user has made their own personal changes to a port (e.g., an added patch). Portsnap will remove such changes the next time the port is updated, while cvs will attempt to merge the modifications.

RE: Status of 6.0 for production systems
There are some things broken in 5.4 that are still broken in 6.0 with regards to support of older hardware. In particular the ida driver is a mess - EISA support in that was busted years ago, then 5.X busted support for more 'modern' systems like the Compaq 1600R HP DL series of systems are kind of a moving target anyway, unfortunately. For those sytems I still use 4.11 (in fact I just setup 2 new 4.11 production systems two days ago) However, 6.0 is a requirement for currently shipping hardware, in particular the Intel series of boxed server motherboards, if you want to use raid and sata drives, since Intel seems to like to change it's motherboard chipsets as fast as most people change their underpants. I'm actually building a 6.0 production server today. (5.4 and earlier will not recognize the disk array) It would be nice if we could get more support for SATA raid in the atacontrol program. Ted On the plus side, I've thrown a lot of hardware at FreeBSD with great success. On the other hand, FreeBSD's primary weakness seems to be the support of newer hardware. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear of problems with older hardware as well, and Ted's solution of pairing older hardware with an older release seems reasonable if in fact one has the experience to support the older release. (I don't, since I jumped to FreeBSD at release 5.1.) I recall sos@ complaining (well, at least mentioning) that his work on ata was hampered by a lack of hardware. I'm sure other developers that support drivers have the same problem. I've been wondering what could be done about this - at least for 6.0++. I assume we don't have enough volume to interest many hardware manufacturers into developing FreeBSD drivers for their hardware. BUT, do our driver developers get early access to specs and (if it would help) source code to other drivers? What would that take? Do we have relationships with hardware manufactures to get samples and prototypes for our driver developers? Or, do we simply have to wait and buy retail versions of the hardware? -gayn Bristol Systems Inc. 714/532-6776 www.bristolsystems.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

pkg_add and package options...
Hello, I generally build everything from the ports tree. But I'm tired of building openoffice. It takes an enormous amount of time. Additionally, the last few times it failed to build completely anyways (after quite a few hours of trying). When I build it though... I prefer to set WITHOUT_JAVA=yes and WITHOUT_MOZILLA=yes. I am wondering, if I were to use pkg_add... what would OO have been built with. In other words, how do I determine what is built into the packages I am pulling down... and do I have any choices about these options.

Incorrectly followed steps to re-sync vinum subdisk
Tonight while checking a few things on my personal machine I noticed that one of my vinum sub disks was stale. Included below are the steps I took attempting to remedy this. Clearly I did not follow the proper procedures and now the volume is un-mountable. Currently when I attempt to mount the /export filesystem the machine panics and reboots. My apologies in advance for the length of information included. I include it so that it might aid in recovery of the data on this filesystem. It has been cleaned up a bit but am happy to provide the full output with the multiple help command output. Shortly after the command sequence included the machine rebooted. Since then I have booted in to single user mode and commented out /export from fstab. The machine is fully functioning with the exception of the important data on /export. If anyone doesn't believe I will be able to recover the data on my own but does know of a company that might be able to recover data written on a vinum mirror would you send me their name?

(6.0) Suspend kills usb CDRW drive :(
Hello Family, I have 6.0-REL running fine on my T21 Thinkpad and have a USB (Memorex) CD+RW drive hooked up to it. Now for the USB CD+RW, dmesg saw it as /dev/cd0 so I read a little and edited /etc/devfs.conf to show /dev/cd0 and it was at that point, after rebooting, that I was able to start burning. It works fine, cdrecord -scanbus sees it as 0,0,0 and I can burn CD's just fine. That is, until I suspend the laptop by closing the screen (shutting the hood :) Upon opening the lid it's never been news to me on my 4.10 laptop to have to bring the network device back to life by: ifconfig fxp0 up Ok, with that information, how can I bring the USB /dev/cd0 back from the dead? No longer does cdrecord -scanbus show the device like it does after a fresh reboot.

You really shouldn't think of 6.0 as like a usual .0 release, so handle with care, but more like 5.4 plus extra optimization and stability fixes. We spent nearly 6 months during the release cycle on stress-testing and fixing stability bugs, and that hard work resulted in a lot of fixes to long-standing bugs that have existed since FreeBSD 5.x. In addition to the improved stability, performance is much better than 5.4 in several areas. Naturally there may be some regressions, but in the average case 6.0 seems to be an outstanding release of FreeBSD no matter what version number you give it. So ...

Even so, conventional wisdom generally warns against using any X.0 release for critical applications, but that depends on your definition of critical and your level of tolerance for excitement. You really shouldn't think of 6.0 as like a usual .0 release, so handle with care, but more like 5.4 plus extra optimization and stability fixes. We spent nearly 6 months during the release cycle on stress-testing and fixing stability bugs, and that hard work resulted in a lot of fixes to long-standing bugs that have existed since FreeBSD 5.x. In addition to the improved stability, performance is much better than 5.4 in several areas. Naturally there may be some regressions, but in the average case 6.0 seems to be an outstanding release of FreeBSD no matter what version number you give it. So ... I am genuinely curious ... if 6.0 is basically 5.4 plus improvements, why isn't it called 5.5? Because under the hood there are a few large changes to support the performance optimizations (e.g. VFS locking), and some that break compatibility. FreeBSD tries to keep compatibility of interfaces within a -STABLE branch, so if we called it 5.5 we'd have broken that rule. Kris pgp7DHI6pNl9h.pgp Description: PGP signature

Thanks for the reply.
I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both

70, or 72.
I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting

of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so
something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a

been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because these

Pat,
That's not the actual refresh range for the monitor, it's just the
currently used range.
What you want to do is search for {maker} {model} horizontal
refresh in google; the pages which come up are the ones you want to
refer to for your xorg.conf configuration.
Also, just as a sidenote, setting the refresh rate of the monitor to
the highest possible range will help your eyes as they are accustomed
to a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz

Andrew P. wrote: There are a couple more points against portsnap: - it lags behind by a few hours. This is true (well, 1-2 hours). However, the reason for this is that portsnap builds ports INDEX files, and since portsnap is usually more up-to-date than the INDEX files fetched by make fetchindex, the lag time is probably less of a problem than one might imagine at first. That said, the build times should be improving somewhat as I move portsnap builds to some new hardware in the near future. - setting up a mirror is still undocumented I'm working on it; but for most users, a caching HTTP proxy will be far better than an actual portsnap mirror.

If the maker was tremendously foresighted, the information you need
may appear in the small print on the back or bottom of the monitor
itself.
If not, you may find it handy to inscribe the H and V rate ranges
there with a Sharpie marker once you find it. I've been through this

practice upon taking a new monitor out of the shipping carton.
Finding the information on the web (or even in the product manual)
is not always easy, and the xorg automated config tools can't always
guess right.

RE: Status of 6.0 for production systems
-Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gayn Winters Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 8:03 AM To: 'Ted Mittelstaedt'; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: RE: Status of 6.0 for production systems There are some things broken in 5.4 that are still broken in 6.0 with regards to support of older hardware. In particular the ida driver is a mess - EISA support in that was busted years ago, then 5.X busted support for more 'modern' systems like the Compaq 1600R HP DL series of systems are kind of a moving target anyway, unfortunately. For those sytems I still use 4.11 (in fact I just setup 2 new 4.11 production systems two days ago) However, 6.0 is a requirement for currently shipping hardware, in particular the Intel series of boxed server motherboards, if you want to use raid and sata drives, since Intel seems to like to change it's motherboard chipsets as fast as most people change their underpants. I'm actually building a 6.0 production server today. (5.4 and earlier will not recognize the disk array) It would be nice if we could get more support for SATA raid in the atacontrol program. Ted On the plus side, I've thrown a lot of hardware at FreeBSD with great success. On the other hand, FreeBSD's primary weakness seems to be the support of newer hardware. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear of problems with older hardware as well, and Ted's solution of pairing older hardware with an older release seems reasonable if in fact one has the experience to support the older release. (I don't, since I jumped to FreeBSD at release 5.1.) I recall sos@ complaining (well, at least mentioning) that his work on ata was hampered by a lack of hardware. I'm sure other developers that support drivers have the same problem. I've been wondering what could be done about this - at least for 6.0++. More lack of access to hardware - he doesen't need to have the hardware in possession to work on this stuff. If you setup a system with for example a dodgy controller in it, on the Internet that he can get at, that would probably work just as well or even better. I assume we don't have enough volume to interest many hardware manufacturers into developing FreeBSD drivers for their hardware. BUT, do our driver developers get early access to specs and (if it would help) source code to other drivers? What would that take? Do we have relationships with hardware manufactures to get samples and prototypes for our driver developers? Or, do we simply have to wait and buy retail versions of the hardware? Most companies that do not make programming info available to the public on a website or some such, want you to sign an NDA which kills chances of developing open source drivers for the hardware. For example Nvidia. My experience in getting eval gear is usually if the manufacture does have an eval program, they run it through a reseller, and resellers aren't interested in anything that doesen't create money for them. So if your a big company with an existing relationship with a reseller and you have bought a lot of gear previously, the reseller will take the time to process the paperwork to get you eval copies of things. Otherwise if your a nobody to the reseller, you call them and they never call you back. The real problem I am afraid is that not many people go out and buy brand new hardware specifically to run FreeBSD. They go out and buy brand new hardware to run the latest bloated version of Windows, then they take last years' hardware that was running Windows perfectly fine until the next version of Windows came out, and want to use it for FreeBSD and then bitch when drivers aren't available. The solution is getting the people who write RFP's for a living for new hardware, to include FreeBSD as a mandatory operating system that the hardware must be compatible with, even though the intended use of the hardware is Windows. This requires people to plan for the future which is of course, rather difficult.

The issue is with your refresh rates on one of the

resolution for your monitors, and match it with the maximum supported
resolution for your card along with the individual monitor's maximum
resolution.

Thanks for the reply.
I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both
monitors are set to 60. The finicky monitor apparently can run at 60,
70, or 72.
I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting
the error, but it's really flickery. Really, it's more like a bunch
of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so
something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a
range, like 60-72, I still get that Out of Range error. I haven't
been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because these
are LCDs and the refresh rates given in ms, not Hertz. Not really
sure what that means.
Thanks for the reply, seems like I'm getting closer...I'd appreciate

Hi there! I'm currently working on a port of PC-BSD for AMD64 systems. Everything looks and works great, but i've run into a snag with running x86 binaries on the platform. All the kernel options for compat are enabled, and some simple C programs will run, but if I try to run a bigger program, with QT for X, then I get errors like this: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6//lib/libqt-mt.so.3: unsupported file layout I figure this is because the libraries are compiled for x64, and the binary is x86. No big deal. I then have attempted overriding the library path by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to some alternate directory with the x86 libraries in it. This does not work also, matter afact, it completely ignores the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable like it doesnt exist. I've messed with the ldconfig program also, but can't quite seem to figure this one out. Is there another LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable that 32 bit binaries look for? Or is it even possible to do what i'm attempting here? -- Kristofer Moore ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Dear People Advantages of BSD Especially in Java 1.5_05 Programming
Thursday, November 10, 2005 12:47:27 Dear People Where may I find documentation and discussion about FreeBSD and Java from Sun MicroSystems. I have a Windows 98 SE Intel Machine that is mostly dedicated to Java1.5_05, JMF Media and Java 3D all from Sun Microsystems. It is Just Getting Good. Are there to be advantages using Free BSD 6.0 when it comes to Java ? Should I get a CD now or would it be better to wait for more Java interoperability ? Where might I find more about Free BSD 6.0 ?

The issue is with your refresh rates on one of the
monitors is out
of range. So what you need to do is go online, search for the
maximum
resolution for your monitors, and match it with the maximum
supported
resolution for your card along with the individual monitor's
maximum
resolution.
-Garrett
Thanks for the reply.
I checked out what refresh rates they're using in Windows, and both
monitors are set to 60. The finicky monitor apparently can run
at 60,
70, or 72.
I set the VertRefresh to 60, start up Xorg, and now I'm not getting
the error, but it's really flickery. Really, it's more like a bunch
of lines are scrolling down very quickly, it's not flicker, so
something definitely isn't right. If I set the VertRefresh to a
range, like 60-72, I still get that Out of Range error. I haven't
been able to find out exactly what refresh rates to use, because
these
are LCDs and the refresh rates given in ms, not Hertz. Not really
sure what that means.
Thanks for the reply, seems like I'm getting closer...I'd appreciate
any more help you can give me.
Pat
Pat,
That's not the actual refresh range for the monitor, it's
just the
currently used range.
What you want to do is search for {maker} {model} horizontal
refresh in google; the pages which come up are the ones you want to
refer to for your xorg.conf configuration.
Also, just as a sidenote, setting the refresh rate of the
monitor to
the highest possible range will help your eyes as they are accustomed
to a higher refresh rate than 60 Hz

I would prefer to not get the ones that don't show anything abnormal, but keep the ones that show something else like a change in IP, or a failure.

Incorrectly re-synced vinum subdisk
Tonight while checking a few things on my personal machine I noticed that one of my vinum sub disks was stale. Included below are the steps I took attempting to remedy this. Clearly I did not follow the proper procedures and now the volume is un-mountable. Currently when I attempt to mount the /export filesystem the machine panics and reboots. My apologies in advance for the length of information included. I include it so that it might aid in recovery of the data on this filesystem. It has been cleaned up a bit but am happy to provide the full output with the multiple help command output. Shortly after the command sequence included the machine rebooted. Since then I have booted in to single user mode and commented out /export from fstab. The machine is fully functioning with the exception of the important data on /export. If anyone doesn't believe I will be able to recover the data on my own but does know of a company that might be able to recover data written on a vinum mirror would you send me their name?

Re: Status of 6.0 for production systems
Gayn Winters wrote: There are some things broken in 5.4 that are still broken in 6.0 with regards to support of older hardware. In particular the ida driver is a mess - EISA support in that was busted years ago, then 5.X busted support for more 'modern' systems like the Compaq 1600R HP DL series of systems are kind of a moving target anyway, unfortunately. For those sytems I still use 4.11 (in fact I just setup 2 new 4.11 production systems two days ago) However, 6.0 is a requirement for currently shipping hardware, in particular the Intel series of boxed server motherboards, if you want to use raid and sata drives, since Intel seems to like to change it's motherboard chipsets as fast as most people change their underpants. I'm actually building a 6.0 production server today. (5.4 and earlier will not recognize the disk array) It would be nice if we could get more support for SATA raid in the atacontrol program. Ted On the plus side, I've thrown a lot of hardware at FreeBSD with great success. On the other hand, FreeBSD's primary weakness seems to be the support of newer hardware. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to hear of problems with older hardware as well, and Ted's solution of pairing older hardware with an older release seems reasonable if in fact one has the experience to support the older release. I prefer the idea of the FreeBSD team aiming at only the latest hardware, all I use is brand new server equipment. I don't like the idea that FreeBSD features and performance development could be hampered by the core guys trying to make stuff work on old hardware, in fact if it was a fact that a lot more performance and features could be in 6.x if they dropped support for everything below 1ghz for x86 I would be happy, I got a few older machines but they could go onto NetBSD since its a very similar OS as it has the same rc script system which FreeBSD imported from NetBSD to start with. Admittedly if Microsoft were trying to make Windows XP run well on a 486 it wouldn't be nearly as a likable OS it is today. AMD64/EMT64 appears to be the mainstream high performance future and should get the most support, although some technologists are saying that Itanium is going to make a come back believe it or not, check out the latest anandtech article for example http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2598 If theres some guy who uses a 386sx 25mhz to run his water gardening sprinkler system he should let go of demanding 6.x work on his system and just use what he needs such as 4.x And if he needs say the latest perl 6 to control his sprinkler system and its not available in 4.x any more then he should just use NetBSD, NetBSD is for all types of hardware and is a fine OS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wireless Card Suggestion
I've finally decided to add wireless to my gateway. It's already doing all my gateway and firewall duties, and more and more people are coming over with wireless devices and I'd like to offer them the option of using my network. Instead of buying a wireless router, I plan to just add a card to my existing server and go from there. But I'd like some suggestions on cards to check out. I have a friend who's using a Linksys card, but he's uses a Linksys router. The one he uses is 54Mbps, and I've seen a number of 108Mbps and 125Mbps. Since I'm using this for a gateway, should I go for a card with higher Mbps? Or do you really think that will make a difference? Either way, I'd like you guys' suggestions on a wireless card that will do the trick, and let me know what speed you'd recommend as well.

Since I'm using this for a gateway, should I go for a card with higher Mbps? Or do you really think that will make a difference? I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that the speed is somewhat reliant on the protocol. For instance, the older 802.11a/b are like 11Mbps, whereas the newer 802.11g runs at 54Mbps. I am not aware of any faster cards, but I haven't been keeping up to date with wireless. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's not a matter of deliberate choice, but that a) Docs for new hardware are often hard to come by (and sometimes impossible) b) It takes time and effort for someone to add support for new hardware, whereas support for old hardware is usually easier to maintain.
