Guys, sorry did not mean to spam, but there used to be a site called
uptime.net (I'm pretty sure of it) It basically did what netcraft is
doing, except it only kept the uptimes. They had some wonderful uptimes
of several years. As far as I remember, NETBSD was 1st place and FreeBSD
was in second.
I just (yesterday) bought a Asus P4SDX (w/Sound NIC USB 2.0 ATA-133). Work's
very nicely on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, but refuses to work on
4.8-STABLE/RELEASE.
Very nice board, fast performance and good bang-for-your buck.

I'd say your best bet would be to use the latest version of FreeBSD
(4.8-RELEASE) or FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE, as 4.3 is from ~2000 and does not
support alot of "nextgen" hardware. Try that, and then come back to the list
if that doesn't fix your problem.
