I've purchased hardware from Wim multiple times over the last two or three years and found him to be fast, reliable and helpful in every order. In each, he's provided far superior service than any other vendors I've dealt with in the last decade, though some of those have been good, too. Regardin

Hello, we have a 4.4 stable machine acting as Squid proxy (for up to 400 users). Underneath it and hanging at the same switch (and I tried to switch cables/ports too) I have a CentOS 5.2 Linux machine. All machines hang at a Juniper SSG-140 Firewall, which maintains few VPN-connections to partner

And it can't be bge0 or the switch, because when I scp big files between machines - they transfer very fast and never die. It's only the web (over Junipers VPN) transfers where the OpenBSD machine has issues.

In your case, I believe the best option is to download and donate. The only problem is that most people forget part 2 - donate. I grew up in another 3rd world country and understand this problem - there's no real solution. On 3/27/09, Christiano Farina Haesbaert wrote: > 2009/3/27 Theo de Raadt
