Which FreeBSD version for MS?

Does the word Overkill mean much to you..... :)

For a production server, you should definitely be using 4.9, all versions of 5 are still recommended
for testing only. I believe that some additions to 5-current are not guaranteed to make it into
5-stable so you may have problems upgrading later.

On our primary MS we use the source version, but I have installed the FreeBSD port on others for
other people. Use either, they are both fine.

I am about to run with BSD on my new server - p4 2.8/1536mb ram /scsi
for our 1500 emails per day, :)

I cant get linux installed and have wasted a half day trying.

Which FreeBSD version is going to work best? I can easily get 5.2.1
installed ion this machine, 5.0 has some issues and i dont have a copy
of 4.9 right now.

Is 5.2.1 far too new to be running on the mail gateway ?


PS: anyone got any experience with Linux or FreeBSD on Compaq,
specifically ML310 ? 9 Care to message me off list so i can ask some OT
questions?
