That shouldn't be surprising, given that the BSDI people have been working on their product for something like twenty years. I should think that your main concern would be whether other people running FreeBSD, in an environment similar to the one you wish to set up, have found it to be stable. If the answer is "yes," what more do you need to know? Certainly it should not be important whether FreeBSD is more stable in other circumstances. -- By sending unsolicited commercially-oriented e-mail to this address, the sender agrees to pay a $100 flat fee to the recipient for proofreading services.
