just has to restart a nix box - GoFuckYourself.com

BoNgHiTtA · 12-17-2003, 01:14 AM

One of my nix servers was up for 264 days

just had to put in another gig of ram. but thats some pretty nice uptime, if I do say so myself.

Too bad the rest have to come down in a week to put the enterprise Redhat on them

Enterprise? Your a crazy man.

FreeBSD!

I was thinking of going to freebsd, but I just cant have any downtimes. Errata on freebsd from what I have heard is slow. I loose several hundred per hour of downtime, so its well worth it to have excellent releases.

Plus, I know linux enough to admin the boxes I have. I have used freebsd some, but not well enough to be effective

I have machines with over 1200

toddler · 12-17-2003, 02:44 AM

Use apt for RPM. I do

Enterprise sucks my butt, they will not be getting any MORE cash from me.

Downtimes? I hate the break the news to you, but freebsd hasn't has any kernel or root exploits longer then I can imagine.

Just about 2 weeks ago or less, EVERY flavor of Linux including Redhat (and I'm assuming Enterprise as well) had an exploit that would give anybody root to your box.

Just because your paying for Enterprise, don't mean your not going to get any downtime.

FreeBSD is used widely upon corporations such as Yahoo!.

This link is a company that monitors websites with the longest running "uptimes" on the internet. Check out and see what O/S is #1.

Check it out dude, it pretty nice

Also, if your worried about learning how to install and maintain packages, check out the ports collection. It couldn't be simplier.

/usr/ports

Example Apache Install:

cd
/usr/ports/www/apache13
make && make install

And the conf files are located in /usr/local/etc/apache.

Give her a whirl ... once you try it, you'll never go back

linux MIGHT have the capabilities of running some things faster, doesnt mean its stable. *BSD far outdoes linux in many many ways, If you are really thinking about switching, hit my icq, ive admin'd many of freebsd box's and im sure i can help some.
