Subject: unix is a problem: free bsd doesn't help

We had been running freebsd for 4 years to handle our internet email. Last
week the hard drive crashed on the system. I had a tape backup of important
files so i reinstalled using the new freebsd 3.0 version.
�
My experience was utter horror and despair! The new version have several
problems - my ethernet card wouldn't work� - until we turned the port on our
cabletron switch to 10 mbps instead of auto negotiate. I tried compiling new
versions of majoirdom to get the listservs running - but all it gave me were
cryptic errors. Sendmail keeps giving me an error:
�
sendmail[131]: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0, SMTP-DAEMON needs 101 in
/var/spool/mqueue)
�
and countless other errors. I have to shutdown the system every 10 hours and
restart it just to telnet to it.
�
To hell with FreeBSD. We are replacing all of the systems with NT versions
of sendmail. And it works great! I neat little GUI makes sendmail and the
Exchange listservs easy to manage.The software may cost more, but in terms
of staff time, we're saving thousands, not to mention all the frustration.
�
I read all the news on how unix is going to give microsoft a run for the
operating system market. I don't believe it for a second.
