I can handle and adapt FreeBSD V1.1 is looking very good and should be out soon. Take a look at some of the other threads for details, since I am definitely not the authority on the code releases. The code is currently in BETA and should be released in the middle of March. We have fixed and/or improved many things, and have gotten some positive feedback from some relatively unbiased sources re: the VM improvements and system stability in general. There is additional substantial future things going on that will even make the system better. I do not normally read my mail on delphi often, but you can get very prompt responses (unless I am swamped by my commercial work) from dyson@implode.root.com. We are very aggressively attempting to make *stable* releases and your timing is very good given our new release. (We are, however making many new, significant enhancements and will additionally incorporate 4.4 lite in the future). The biggest problems that we appear to be having are regarding unbuffered IDE controllers. The new VM stuff is allowing people to load their systems significantly heavier!!!
