Onderwerp: FreeBSD of OpenBSD em.. juist ja.. welke van de 2?

Nou als je het niet erg vind wacht ik evengoed nog even met upgraden op onze productie servers

Ik zou het zowiezo niet gebruiken voor productie servers wordt overigens ook vermeld op www.freebsd.org:

FreeBSD 5.X marks the first new major version of FreeBSD in over two years. Besides a number of new features, it also contains a number of major developments in the underlying system architecture. Along with these advances, however, comes a system that incorporates a tremendous amount of new and not-widely-tested code. Compared to the existing line of 4.X releases, the first few 5.X releases may have regressions in areas of stability, performance, and occasionally functionality.

For these reasons, the Release Engineering Team <re@FreeBSD.org> specifically discourages users from updating from older FreeBSD releases to 5.2-RELEASE unless they are aware of (and prepared to deal with) possible regressions in the newer releases. Specifically, for more conservative users, we recommend running 4.X releases (such as 4.9-RELEASE) for the near-term future. We feel that such users are probably best served by upgrading to 5.X only after a 5-STABLE development branch has been created; this may be around the time of 5.3-RELEASE.

(FreeBSD 5.X suffers from what has been described as a ``chicken and egg'' problem. The entire project has a goal of producing releases that are as stable and reliable as possible. This stability and reliability requires widespread testing, particularly of the system's newer features. However, getting a large number of users to test the system, in a practical sense, means building and distributing a release first!)

het is maar een test server vandaar.

Maar goed, ik zal 4.9 installeren
