I've noticed a number of posts pertaining to problems
running MySQL on FreeBSD and am not sure whether these
were general MySQL-on-FBSD problems or just particular to
individual users. I'm about to buy a new server and
would like to move our MySQL db's (and apache, mail etc)
from our current Linux box to FreeBSD on this new server.
(simply b/c I've had less trouble with FreeBSD as an OS).
Leaving the wider FreeBSD vs Linux argument aside,
and just looking at the server's role in running MySQL,
is there any reason why FreeBSD would not be a good
choice for running MySQL ?
It's easier if I get this right from the start than try
to patch a production machine later in the day so input
from experienced users is much appreciated,
chas
