So, if i think it's a bug, and another person thinks it's a bug, then
it is definitely a bug??? And if I remember correctly, you lost out
in that system stability discussion a while back. (yeah. you got out
of it, by picking on sentence syntax, and word definitions!) Now
*you* talk about system stability... Jesus... (I can just hear it "What?")

You just said praised Linux, and now you say it is
no good at running the latest apps. Thick or what?

No. You're not *forced* to run FreeBSD. You can run linux. And 386bsd 0.1
is not supported for a good reason.
There's a thought. JMJr running Linux, and posting endless moose droppings
on the comp.os.linux.* hierarchy... Jesus... ("What?")
