If I run two systems and watch one outrun the other I don't need hard numbers. I just pick the better one and you do the same for yourself. In my case Linux easily out-performced BSD. That's an absolute and I don't give a damn if you believe it or not. Not slow enough to keep me from using it but it was pretty obvious in just a few minutes and completely obvious after about a week. It's totally non-important unless you are in an in-depth discussion about such things, not a post like that. > * it will have less support > > What is your quantitative basis for this assertion?

Or rather, I should have used Email. And if you must know, I really do find more support for Linux. If you don't, fine. I am not forcing you to use Linux. I also do not make my decisions based on someone else's point of view because it doesn't work that way. > * it will have you as a user > > You're damn right it will. And here you reply to obvious flame bait after berating me for replying to obvious flame bait.

I'm willing to apologize for ever posting my reply but your reply is in many ways far worse since you commit the very crimes you were bitching about. -- csh --------------------------------------------------------------------------- shendrix@escape.widomaker.com | Linux... that's it for the moment -----------------------------------+
