only problem is the gps server is the only one where freebsd could even be an option. the other time servers do other things and are entrenched in specific linux configurations and packages. the time servers were added last on these. they are the strat2. the gps can be freebsd if it has to be but then i have to hassle talking one of the techs who only knows how to install windows through installing freebsd on this machine over the phone and then i can take over after the generic install since i am 1000 miles from the servers, and unlike gentoo, i do not find an easy path to remote install from the first prompt of the cd.. but i suppose that would be worth it. then ill have to build that splitter box for the boss before i do this so his sat positioning charts won't get interrupted :) > Now that it's getting colder here my central heating is spoiling the fun > a bit... > > Jan > _______________________________________________ > timekeepers mailing list > [email protected] > https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers > -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
