atom based servers
I see supermicro and potentially others have atom servers available, anyone tried these on freebsd with success?

Re: Why FreeBSD not popular on hardware vendors
Chad Perrin wrote: Tell that to the uncountable hordes of dedicated Linux users who don't know what they're missing and, as such, see no reason to even give FreeBSD a try. Many Linux people I know still think FreeBSD SMP sucks, that combined with a lack of journaling filesystem on BSD gives the Linux folks a small edge. I know ZFS is out there, but nor for that long yet on FreeBSD.

I mean seriously, has this helped anything at all? is ranting on here about those two things going to change 8.0 to be the next best gaming console? no. if you want to use freebsd on your desktop with 3D you can. just run i386. but this entire thread has gone down hill from the OP, and it is nonsense. you get a few more registers with 64bit and some more ram, big deal. show me a gaming console that needs more than four gigs of ram. its not a priority and it shouldn't be. this is a server class operating system that you CAN use on your desk if wanted. even linux in all its glory with an nvidia 64bit driver isn't all that great at gaming, i'm sorry its just not. its not that great with 3D modeling either(in house and proprietary software like maya do not count). It is a great server OS. Perhaps some would like it to be a better desktop OS? PC BSD not good enough for some I suppose? You could always get a Mac and run the NIX underneath it when needed.

Re: 7.1

Bugs that may be present in the system, may simply not be applicable to you, if you are not using the specific part or feature that has the problem. While it is difficult to assess without knowing specific details, I think 7.1 is generally stable at the moment. Maybe people using it in production servers (if any) can step in and share their experiences. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" I'm running a 7.1 prerelease from 10-31 on a dual core amd AM2 for mail with spamassassin, postfix, and procmail with a few virtual domains. So far, the only issue I've had is that some new device support was added causing the drive number to change, that was an easy fix once I saw what the issue was.

I've seen TCP connections 'stall' when path-mtu was broken by a setup like this and one of the intermediate routers started dropping TCP packets that were too large for one of its interfaces. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Since the result set is so big, something else to try may be invoking the ssh connection with compression on, -C is the flag. THis will allow us to see if it really isnt working or is just slower than you'd like.

Re: Looking for the right "FreeBSD.iso"
Jerry McAllister wrote: Basically, you are wrong, because you haven't looked far enough in to things to know that FreeBSD has done it that way from the beginning (or almost that far back).I have never done a complete install from a CD or DVD, but just acquired the first disk, booted the install program and then done the install over the net. I've been doing that for more than 10 years and am far from being an early adopter. Others have done so much longer. But, some people are [still] not in the positition to be able to do installs over the net. Their service is inadequate or, in some cases they are not even connected, so the whole system is made available to them on disk as well. Actually, I believe, if you are doing just the FreeBSD install, and not at the same time installing some of the ports, it is still layed out to need only the first CD even if you are not installing over the net. But, I haven't checked recent versions. The other CDs contain the sources for various ports and some special case things. One option is to just burn and install using the minimum install option when the installer asks you. You could burn the very small minimum cd, such as ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/7.0/7.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso and then do a net install afterwards as well. This is a very quick install, then you just pkg_add what you need, use sysinstall to add man pages and other pieces you want later. This has been my method for at least 5-6 years.
