So, I must be seeing things ... right! Maybe an "update" slowdown is in order ... or maybe you need more sleep, but at any rate I take great care in testing and plowing through ALL of the features and try to "CONSTRUCTIVELY" contribute to the project where I can, and am not feelin' great about the progress and path pfS has taken .... to much update and to little stability. I am very aware that it is an "alpha" software and fully expect bugs and things to creep in and out ..... but the last several releases are by far the worst I've seen since the 0.5x & 0.6x revs. Also I might add that I have been very careful NOT to change any hardware on any of the 5 test machines I have in the lab. All are EXACTALLY the same as they were when I first set up the lab and started testing w/ pfSense and m0n0wall, over a year ago. Lab enviro: 2 cisco 2924's 2 cisco 2912's 1 cisco fasthub 10/100 1 Dell GX150 1 Dell GX260 1 generic AMD athalon 750 1 IBM Thinkpad 600e 1 HP presario 1 compaq proliant (not used often) I think I have a pretty good handle on both the m0n0wall and pfSense distros and am by far NOT a newbe to either Linux or FreeBSD .... so that being said, your work is GREATLY appreciated, but your snide, one-handed responses ARE NOT! Let's try to be constructive so as to the benefit of all who are on the lists/forums. Respecfully, -- David L.
