You should stick with Linux because it works for you and you know what it can do and how to make it do that. You should also try FreeBSD because for some things it is better and it is good to have more than one O/S in your bag of tricks. Basically, both OS'es are UNIX clones so the differences are in the details and you need to work with both of them for a while in order to understand the differences. -- Michael Dillon Voice: +1-604-546-8022 Memra Software Inc.
