It accepts responsibility for managing all the resources an operating system is normally accepted to manage. Yes, it uses DOS for its file system, but you could probably boot FreeBSD diskless from an NT based NFS server (sick an idea as that might be) and be in the same position. Well, you'd have a GOOD operating system on top instead of a foul one... -- Peter da Silva `-_-' Network Management Technology Incorporated 'U` 1601 Industrial Blvd. Sugar Land, TX 77478 USA +1 713 274 5180 "Har du kramat din varg idag?"
