However, I'd like to add an observation: The Linux Slackware 1.2.0 distribution is much superior to the FreeBSD 1.1 BinDist. You get a much more usable system when you're done installing, all within roughly the same amount of disk space. Any comments? How do you use virtual consoles on FreeBSD? -- Alex Ramos (ramos@engr.latech.edu) * http://info.latech.edu/~ramos/ Louisiana Tech University, BSEE/Sr * These opinions are probably mine
