 Posted: Jun 28, 2003 1:33am Post subject: FreeBSD 5.1 |
 |

The good news is that FreeBSD 5.1 has released featuring new core improvements and hardware support. 5.1 means that a 5.x-STABLE is being realized.
I am running 5.0-RELEASE on my laptop for several months successfully and it really worked fine for me. But for servers, I will be sticking with 4.X-STABLE for at least next 6 months.

I run FreeBSD 4.9. At first I tried FreeBSD 5.0, but it had bugs, XFree86 wouldnt work on it. I installed FreeBSD 4.7, it worked perfectly and later on upgraded from 4.7 to 4.8, but the sysinstall program said I had bad luck with the install and when I ran the emergency shell on tty4 I couldnt run any processes. /bin/ls wouldnt work, it would just say process was lost from kernel or something like that. I downgraded to FreeBSD 4.7 until 4.9 came out, then I got 4.9.
FreeBSD 4.9 seems to be the most stable version. I wouldn't consider going to 5.x until I have some whitnesses that shows it's more stable. Im not wasting my time like before  |

You should also consider DDoS and nuke protection. FreeBSD ports under the "security" section has a few DDoS filters and anti-spoof applications.
Since IRC is the "wild west" of the internet, make sure you are protected =] |
