There is one point where I have to conceed defeat to Linux. That fat little penguin is everywhere. The main reason we practically don't see beastie at all is that there is no artwork to get hold of anywhere... Please, somebody, anybody: Can we have some beastie artwork in usable sizes for pos

Hi Poul, Jordan/BSDi have been/are still in contact with folks here in the Netherlands who create beastie artwork (e.g. the 'newsreader beastie with milkshake', the 'forklift / release beastie' are all from their desk). I'm not sure what else is going on at this moment but I guess it is worth

What to do if a box is just "frozen"

Hello, I've got a little application at work which can "just freeze" a 4.2-Release : the purpose of the application is just a packet blaster used for telecom equipement test (send as many UDP packets as ordered, on as many interfaces as there are on a machine). So, on my 4.2-R test box (no-thril

Thierry - I have a 4.1 Release box that seems to mimic your 'freezing' encounter. I seem to run into the same thing after having my box up for long periods of time and especially after using anything that requires bpf0. I've wondered if it was just an error in the kernel I compiled, or unusual
