We have our gateway running Sniffer on Debian Etch, but when we rebuild it we will go with FreeBSD. Not meaning to bash Debian, but get better system performance from bsd. We've tried Windows systems, and won't do that again.

Hello Sniffer Folks, We are nearing completion of a significantly upgraded set of SNF distributions for *nix systems (BSD, OSX, Linux, etc.) We will soon be releasing Client/Server and Milter distributions built with autotools to simplify the installation process and make things "more normal" and "less tricky" for each platform. While RedHat has a high profile and market share in the server realm, it is often a challenge to cope with how far behind it is in software versions. I often wonder: Is RH perhaps it is too stable? I would really like to know your opinions on which distributions are most popular in our community and why. What about maintenance? Support from hosting providers? Other issues that matter more to you folks? This discussion will help us fine tune our next releases and might also help some of us get a handle on what really is best practice on these platforms these days. Thanks! _M -- Pete McNeil Chief Scientist, Arm Research Labs, LLC. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <sniffer@sortmonster.com>.
