Well, there's a reason, of course, why I (and apparently others on this list, too) still run FreeBSD 4.11: it's their most stable release ever made. Far as I'm concerned, everything went down-hill after version 4 and up. Read their list. Currently Perl 5.8.8 won't even compile out of box on FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE! And that's just one of many, many problems. So, I'll hang on to my dinosaur for a while, if you don't mind. :) For clamav (and other stuff) I already had to resort to the old libpthread.so -> /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 trick, but it STILL runs smoothly. Regardless of OS version, though, it's always a good policy of the clamav makers to try and not break things too radically, or change around unnecessarily. I, for one, would be thoroughly screwed without clamav, as there's nothing, in the UNIX market at least, that comes even come close to clamav. So, yes, I consider myself lucky. :) - Mark _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
