this is for Dag-Erling Smørgrav, I m not sure but for me 7.0 has a lot of
problems had to search to ,make acpi thermal polling actually not poll as
much so I don't get spammed by having my non existent sensor being polled
every 100 seconds. on ##freebsd channel on freenode some do suggest 6.3
since they do not trust a .0 release until a .1 comes out since many of the
bugs do get fixed that maybe a .0 still has. or a 6.x doesn't have as many
bugs as a .0 release since many of them were worked out though out the whole
6.x series.

I myself have used .0 since beta and -current and find no problems with it
except for the acpi thermal spam but fixed that by changing a sysctl switch.

Nothing as such but this guy is new to FreeBSD,
& *.0 releases tend to have less smooth edges.
His choice of course.

6.2 has been declared End Of Line by security officer.
So use 6.3 Release instead.
7.0 exists too, but as you (james) dont know much about FreeBSD, use 6.3
instead for now, until 7.1 come out.

For FreeBSD itself, the software is free, and can be
downloaded from the Internet. You can also buy it from several sources
on CD and/or DVD if you prefer that. And yes, you can copy it as many
times as you wish.

I have no idea about the exact licensing details for axigen mail sever,
so you should ask them. Their licensing terms may be very different.

Dell Servers I have installed

2007-03-14 Thread Salvatore Albanese

Greetings all,

I have been known to give new life to Dell Customers, after migrating thier 
old W2K servers to FreeBSD, with Samba, this makes a fine File Server with 
execellent Security.


Dell PowerEdge 1500SC,

Intel Pentium III 1.2GHz, Tualatin 512 L2 cache,  Intel  Mainboard P2300, 
512MB RAM, 36GB HDD SCSI U160 HotSwap Seagate ST336706LC, LG CD-ROM 
CDR-8482B EIDE, Standard Floppy Drive 1.44MB 3.5", RAGE XL PCI 4MB RAM, 
Seagate DAT 4mm DDS-4 Streamer 20-40GB SCSI, Intel Pro/1000 Network adaptor, 
Swiss Keyboard, Logitech wheel mouse, 17" SVGA, APC Smart_UPS 700VA


FreeBSD v. 6.0 installation, with Samba v2.2.12,









Physical Partitions

/dev/ad0s1a

/dev/ad0s1f

/dev/ad0s1g

/dev/ad0s1e



Logical Partitions

//dev/ad0s1a 512MB

swap

/tmp  /dev/ad0s1f2048MB

/var   /dev/ad0s1g 512MB

/usr   /dev/ad0s1e 29789MB


I make makes all home folders in the /usr partition.

once every three months I check the server, and I give it a clean Bill of 
Health. So far so good


It have been up for two years now, and the client is very happy. another ex 
Microsoft client who is very happy they did not have to make a mojor 
investment to buy new hardware and Win2003 server.


What more can I say?

Dell is actually asking what Linux Distro to install, but if enough of us
ask for preinstalled FreeBSD, it might get them thinking about FreeBSD and
looking into providing support and especially drivers in the future.

It can't hurt anyway :)

Due to the positive response they've gotten regarding people wanting
systems pre-installed with Linux, Dell has put a survey up:

http://www.dell.com/linuxsurvey

FreeBSD users might want to fill out the survey and at the end, choose
"other" for the distribution enter "FreeBSD". Can't hurt :)

Sorry for the top-posting, but only one "to" was added, and wasn't this

Well... I was put a suggestion for FreeBSD, but thank's to my bad
english the most possible could be that anybody was read my
"suggestion".
