I'm not as old as many here in dealing with FreeBSD (I feel sorry for
this, should come to the beastie side before) but I must agree with Mike
above. From Pentium I to sparc64 (I had one of these in a lab at college
that no linux could make it work - any mount /cdrom would freeze it -
FreeBSD 6.0 straight from cd made it a great svn+http server as it is up
to now) could always run and just use it. Solid as a rock. Thanks, and
thanks :)
