That is, if it's possible to ask the question, the answer must be Linux. You may have some particular reason to prefer FreeBSD. You may have used BSD at school. You may have a specific need and believe that in respect of the need Linux is weak. Fine. In these situations the question doesn't arise. But if it's possible to ask the question the answer is Linux. Gawd, are we full of ourselves or what? The answer is always Linux (except in those "rare" occasions where this answer doesn't apply)? Puh-LEASE! The answer is unmistakenly that your eyes have finally completely glazed over. Doctor, the patient is a goner. There is *never* a *single* answer to any multi-faceted problem. To believe otherwise is pure foolishness. Which you have demonstrated so clearly. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
