of providers are offering CentOS as their default Linux offering, which appears
to be some form of RHE that is free.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll probably try it on my next box, i'd try a form
of BSD, but there's a slightly smaller learning curve there.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Yep same issue on FreeBSD here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Its a very solid hosting platform. </FONT><FONT size=2>Good
security good support,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>easy to use packages. Hardware </FONT><FONT size=2>support
is good, had a few</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>minor niggles with some very new </FONT><FONT size=2>opteron
boards ( netcard</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>support ) but all fixed quickly. Anyone considering it
should</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>pick the 5.x stream 5.2.1-RELEASE atm soon to be
5.3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>as it contains significant increase in performance for
SMP</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>kernels. For game servers however if u try the
5-CURRENT</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>ensure u use the old BSD scheduler as the new one
has</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>poor performance for servers.</FONT></DIV>
