A way to check would be looking at the reports on avalon: http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/reports/ - look at the meta/ directory in each report. Postgres, apache, and ruby build fine going on a quick browse...

DragonFly 64-bit stability
I'm thinking of upgrading one server from 2GB to 6GB of memory. Since the regular DragonFly/i386 version will not be able to fully use it, I'm also considering upgrading the OS to Dragonfly/x86-64. The machine is mainly running Postgres, Apache and Ruby (fast-cgi) for use with a Ruby-on-Rails application. What is your experience with the 64-bit version ? Is it now stable enough to be used in a server ? All answers are welcome. -- Francois Tigeot
