I've been running Linux since kernel 0.99pl13, I think it was, and have had amazingly little trouble. Whereas I'm now sitting on $2k of hardware that won't do what I wanted it to do under Solaris, so it's a bit of a hot-button issue for me right now. I've never had to consider Linux issues in selecting hardware (in fact I haven't selected hardware, my linux boxes have all been castoffs originally purchased to run Windowsx), whereas I made considerable efforts to find out what should work and how careful I had to be, including asking for advice on this list, and I have still ended up getting screwed. Yeah, I'm a little bitter about this. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
