See, I dont get this. Ive been running a 500+ user, 150+ uucp
site, 12 dialin , full newsfeed 386bsd 0.1 + PK 0.2.4 386BSD
and its remarkably stable. It stays up for weeks on end.
On the other end..I have friends with FreeBSD that crash several
times a day. This whole 'MY BSD IS BETTER' thing is getting stupid.
