Grrr

BSD’s don’t like Zach.  NetBSD 2.1 kernel locked on CD boot, and FreeBSD 6.0 and 5.4 don’t get along with my IDE controller (arcane DMA errors; Linux, anyone?).

Blah.  Debian?  What else is good for a server in Linux?  Slack is only good for servers if Pat has your packages (he doesn’t for my rig).  Otherwise, you might as well run Gentoo because you’re going source-based.

I don’t wanna use Debian.  I guess I’ll wait around to try a decent motherboard on FreeBSD with an HT Pentium 4 to make sure it’s not an across-the-board problem or something specific to the drive.
