I'm currently running 4.5, and want to upgrade my machine and was wondering what you might have for recommendations.
It has dual 333mhz Pentium II cpus, an S3 video card, 256mb RAM and a 20gb hard drive - not cutting edge hardware by any means! All it does is serve my small web sites via Apache and run some low volume mailing lists via Mailman. It isn't kept too busy, but it shouldn't be down for long periods nonetheless. I'm thinking of 3 possible paths: 1] A binary upgrade using the latest 4.x (4.7?) 2] A binary upgrade to 5.0 3] A reformat and complete upgrade to 5.0 - I already have the web site & mailing list dbs backed up. As scary as it sounds, I'm leaning towards #3. It seems it shouldn't be too hard to move the Mailman database stuff to a new machine, so my main concern is how stable 5.0 is at this point. I'm willing (heck, even want) to play with some bleeding edge technology, but I do need it to be running with extensive handholding. Is 5.0 at that stage? -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Incredible Brightness of Seeing, a Home Theater weblog http://jdarnold.tzo.com/HomeTheater To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
