I have been using FreeBSD in a production environment for almost 10 years now (since version 2.2.5!) and have absolutely NO complaints about it. I've regularly had servers with uptimes in excess of 6 months, and even those were just rebooted for kernel updates and the like.
The ports tree is excellent, well-maintained and can be used as either binary packages or source code updates. Tim Gustafson MEI Technology Consulting, Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] (516) 379-0001 Office (516) 908-4185 Fax http://www.meitech.com/
