Not that I don't truse SUSE, but at
http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=92486&cid=7951598
someone's very pleased with FreeBSD 5.0:
"Our site gets a million hits a day on a completely db-driven
website. Both the Apache webserver and the two replicated MySQL servers
on the backend are all running FreeBSD 5, and have been for months now."
Does this configuration sound vaguely familiar? An alternative to
consider in case SUSE proves unstable.
