Now that BIND has been removed from the base system [1], what DNS server is FreeBSD shipping with (if any)?<p>[1] <a href="https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/announce.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/announce.html</a>
Wow. I remember reading about Hotmail servers running BSD back in the day, but not quite like this.<p><pre><code> FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE is also available on these cloud hosting platforms:
- Amazon(R) EC2(TM) FreeBSD/amd64
- Microsoft(R) Azure(TM) FreeBSD/amd64, FreeBSD/i386</code></pre>
I see the release-notes mentions "initial" UEFI support, but FreeBSD usually seem pretty modest about things, so it's hard to tell what to expect.<p>Has anyone here tried it? If so, how mature would you consider it? Usuable, but with warts? Or completely fine?<p>I'm curious, but I don't want to nuke my server-box just yet :)
I always wanted to try FreeBSD, but during install, after I picked the software I wanted it would ask me for disk 10, then disk 7, then disk 5... I proceeded to giving up and installing Slackware instead (this was back in 2007 when I was new to Linux). I hope they've fixed this since, or maybe I did something wrong, who knows? Oh well...
I must give FreeBSD another spin. The last time I used it in anger was circa 2000 (4.0) to build a route collector for a small internet exchange point using GNU Zebra [0].<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/zebra/" rel="nofollow">https://www.gnu.org/software/zebra/</a>
