I really don't get this whole bsd vs linux thing. They are two totally different ways of doing this stuff. People should just choose what they feel they are most happy with, and we really shouldn't be out there to convert them. Its not like anyone is making money off of this. We aren't loosing "customers" per se by having people running linux at this point. I like the *bsd crowd because I feel like they have a better idea of what is going on and how to do stuff, since the majority of the implementers are unix people putting unix on a pc, instead of pc people trying to find something to do besides dos or os/2. alex
