Date: 5 Aug 1994 20:05:30 +0100 Organization: The Direct Connection Lines: 23 Message-ID: <pmiles.776112888@tdc> NNTP-Posting-Host: tdc.dircon.co.uk I'm looking for a system to act as a news/mail server, and several people have suggested I look at one of the BSD versions of UNIX, especially BSDI. This is for running on a Pentium-based PC system with Adaptec SCSI controller and SCSI drives. Network card will probably be a 3COM EISA one. We hope to run INN, to enable our users to access news over the LAN. Can anyone send me their experiences of BSDI (and FreeBSD or NetBSD). I'm particularly interested in BSDI; as it seems to be the most complete ready-to-run package. What is BSDI's support like (especially in the UK?). Does it have any major bugs? Do bugs get fixed rapidly? How many sites are out there using BSDI? All comments and opinions are most welcome! -- Pete -- Pete Miles pmiles@dircon.co.uk ...pipex!dircon!pmiles
