Your comments are disturbing. I run a few 4.10 servers and am getting ready for a couple new ones and would like to go with 5.3 stable. Then I ran across this article: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/12/14/1518217 which doesn't really go into detail, so I don't really trust the article. For a small web/email/database server on i386, using GEOM Mirror, ( http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ ) everything should be fine right??? I am moving from Linux to FreeBSD as much as possible, but am very confused about whether or not to use 5.3 !Received on Tue Feb 08 2005 - 13:40:39 UTC
