I know where the ports are.

Again, I can google it myself. But I just wanted to know that how much do people saying "FreeBSD better than Linux", actually base it on facts that they have actually read or seen themselves. Both Linux and FreeBSD are constantly getting better, I know. But when deciding one at the expense of the other, it would help people like me to decide on the basis of facts which points differentiate them. I know (and sometimes manage) Linux servers which handle tens of thousands of mails a day and serve hundreds of websites at the same time, and yet keep running for over a year at a stretch (till you bring it down for kernel/glibc updates). - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
