I'm not familiar with the release schedule of MirBSD, but of the others I have to ask why you're running "old" versions of everything except OpenBSD? I could understand, say, running FreeBSD 6.4 and FreeBSD 7.2, or something similar, but I wonder why 5.0 and 6.1? I also wonder why NetBSD 1.6 (their current release is 5.0.1). Is it purely that you don't have enough time to update them? I can completely understand that if so, I'm just curious :). I'm also curious about the choice of MirBSD vs. DragonFly. -- Greg Lewis Email : [email protected] Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : [email protected] _______________________________________________ gubug mailing list [email protected] https://gubug.org/mailman/listinfo/gubug
