Re: [squid-users] Re: Solaris 8x86

Hello

Are you certain that the problem isn't with the network interface?

I tried solaris x86 about a month ago and found (~frustratingly) it was
pretty much junk. I have also seen many newsgroup postings and magazine
articles confirming/collaborating my opinion.

The biggest problem I had with solaris x86 was with network interfaces,
they kept going down, and when they were up they ran goofy. Pretty
unreliable.

Of course, to be fair, I DIDN'T try to get my hands on one of the two or
three network cards that solaris x86 "supports out of the box" - and had
to use a "third party" driver....

However, the same cards I used on that box work fine on Linux, FreeBSD
and Windows machines.... without any trouble...

take care
