I want to continue to run FreeBSD in production. However we are currently running nagios on freebsd and weve ran into a problem, we believe its the same issue as described at this link: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/whatsnew.html . Since monitoring is mission critical we have decided to move nagios to a linux based distro to eliminate this possibility. Our mail team is currently in the process of integrating our in house mail server with SpamAssassin. One of our goals is to keep any production unix/linux box the same operating system for management/maintenance purposes. So we wanted to see what ran best with SpamAssassin to help justify any decision we would make for ALL of our production systems. This is why I posted here to this list. Major things of importance to us are Stability, Reliability, Package Management, Timely Security and Software Updates.
