Is this an FAQ ?  :) :) :)

To tell the truth, I have been using my very close friend's account for
a few months.  (he is a busy graduate student and I helped him a lot 
in installing all kinds of UNIX on his machines).

I am leaving USA soon and will work where internet/USENET cannot be
reached. :(   This means that I will disappear.
Any article posted by cosc19v2 will not be mine any longer .. (in a week :( :( ).

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good Luck to FreeBSD core team.
Sorry for my flaims so far.  (misspelling intended  :( :(   spelling wars in
c.o.3.d. ? ).     I just wanted the core teams to understand the feelings of 
general users.

BTW,  "Linux or *BSD ?" has not answered yet.
As far as 8 babies are coming out from hospitals every second,
the question will not stop  whatever you may do, since it is quite a natural
question.  I do not think that it is appropriate to say, "Try all the things
and pick what you want."   Most people don't have such luxury to have time
to do so, except people like me who are in a temporary status and have nothing 
to do (except shopping - before I leave USA).  

I hope that someone kindly answer the question and update frequently,
rather than engaging in *personal* attacks.
Otherwise, create a newsgroup, comp.os.386bsd.persons, where you attack
persons, watch Jmonroy TV shows, ....etc.  :) :)
