linux crashes

well, I guess if you are not admin'ing servers, you can get away with that. In my world though, you test test test test everything. I probably think it's especially funny, because a guy here always says testing is a waste of time if you already know how the software works... I've cleaned up a lot of his messes.

I remember just a few weeks ago I overheard him saying he was going to go do something on the SQL server (he is not supposed to touch the servers, but he is the bosses lap-dog so anyway). I asked him about it and told him I don't think that would be a good idea and if he gave me a few days I can have a test environment set up for him. He said, "ok" like he was going to do what I say. 5 minutes later, the SQL server was dead.

Oh SORRY my bad of course you test things, what I meant was on hardware that you know, used before, etc...

Until you know it, of course you test. Sorry miscommunication there, I just meant when you already know the hardware you're working and the things you're compiling in that have worked before was all I meant.

Anyhow I hope I shared some, I'm out, WOW I'd be writing a book if I keep this up.

But that still doesn't change the FACT that Linux SUPPORTS THE WIDEST RANGE OF HARDWARE OVER UNIX.

Sorry for caps not yelling just trying to get your attention to the facts is all.

Are we clear now?

ALOHA

But it isn't a fact. It's an opinion, at least until you properly define the terms you are using.

As for the nForce2 support on FreeBSD this is the board that has issues with FreeBSD, the Abit NF7-S2

Now this is Nforce2 yes old, but that's not the issue. The Nvidia series boards where well supported in Linux, and have been since they came out, yet for whatever reason the support for this board and from what I was also told by a FreeBSD developer is that Nvidia support in FreeBSD isn't that well supported yet.

Now look at how long Nvidia boards have been around and still to this date FreeBSD doesn't support them that good.

ALOHA

Try OpenBSD.

Your blurring lines you said ----> So, if I pick up a Mac SE30 I can run a vanilla kernel on it?

A MAC is a OS platform, now that is different hardware on a different system, that's another story, so what are you talking about?

So what are we talking about now Architectures or hardware in general?

Again for the widest range of Architectures supported in Unix I said that is NetBSD

You don't have to go easy on me, I've been using Unix/Linux for 10 years I'm far from being a newbie.

An Apple SE30 is a computer, not an OS platform. We're talking about hardware in general, which includes various hardware architectures. Or were you just talking x86?

No, yes and not sure. If by T1/E1 hardware you're talking about WAN ports that support T1 frames, then yes but I don't know the extent of the support. But you picked wifi because you know it's an area that Linux is lacking compared to OpenBSD and it's probably the only area. Is there a driver for the broadcom wifi chipsets in OpenBSD yet?

You got me. I picked wifi because I know Linux wifi support sucks.

And yes, there is.

Maybe, there is a m68k port but I can't imagine why you'd put yourself though the pain of using that machine.

I'm a fan of St. Jude.
