When he comes in, make your first question: Are you enlightened? ;) On Wed, 21 Jan 2004, Gavin M.

I should also mention I use freebsd for other stuff, but I am mainly asking in peoples experience, which is the best for PostgreSQL to live on specifically. In terms of a nice smp high end scsi system. Sorry for the lack of specifics on that before. Again, its pretty much a personal opinion ... we use FreeBSD for all our PgSQL work, and have several clients that are doing so also, and have been most happy with it .. Again, you have to consider that with the code-sharing that happens, drivers and such tend to be very similar, if not identical ... Moreover, what should prevent the SCO scumbags from molesting *BSD users if they would succeed in destroying Linux? There might be technical reasons to move from Linux to *BSD, but the SCO amok run should not be a reason to do so. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---- Marc G.
