Please, in the name of all of us *BSD users, don't give up. Speaking of my own experience, we have in France a big community of Linux users. A few friends and I are using FreeBSD. I'm traditionnally a *BSD fan so I choose first 386BSD and then FreeBSD. There is a dedicated newsgroup for linux but actually it is used for all the free UNIX systems. There have never been a flame war between us. Everybody is trying to helpful. On both sides. Why there is always a flame war lurking here between Linux and *BSD ? People choose the UNIX they want, for their own reasons whatever they are. People must realise that the real `difference' is between free UNIXes and the other commercial ones, not between the free ones. I don't care which one is better, I choose one that's all. Grow up people, please. Thanks as always to all the FreeBSD team which is working very hard and all others who are trying to useful instead of constantly flaming. -- Ollivier ROBERT Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net A FreeBSD & PERL addict...
