Don't laugh at others just because you > *think* you are superior, you may fall into a pit :-) Um, reread....I wasn't hostile, I don't think Linux is "superior" (I prefer to use it, but the characteristics I like others might not). I was simply saying I thought "Linux vs. BSD" posts might more profitably be posted in some other newsgroup....possibly comp.os.advocacy? I'm interested in Linux; if I were interested in BSD (which could certainly happen) I'd probably read the BSD groups to find out more about it.... lilo
