Does anybody have any help on that? If you use one of the LINUX distributions (good luck deciding *which* one :) then you'll get a complete fully functional system "right out of the box.". Nearly every imaginable utility will be there ready to use. If you pick *bsd, you need to pick and choose (and download separately from the net) each utility package you think you will need. The base *bsd system is fully functional but lacks many useful utilities. Only You will know which of these suits your needs. -- Bill Heiser: bill@bhhome.ci.net, heiser@world.std.com
