Kevin,

I was the one (of some) person, who has made a long running test with 
FreeBSD and MV and IC too with high traffic and has reported the results 
of that test to Mike Heins.

But I feel or have the impression, that I'm still be a newbie in perl 
and UNIX. I learn more perl every time and my important jop is to create 
any kind of catalogs with IC asap and I've no enough time to learn perl. 
I want to learn perl as it is and how to use it right. I've tried out 
how to build IC with different perl version in the same FreeBSD machine 
for IC and so on. At the meantime...I've reach my cabability and need 
more help to support and force the IC community for FreeBSD.

ciao

jojo
