Or is the BSDi only? Linus can run FreeBSD binaries (the newer kernels), and the latest FreeBSD has linux binary support (not ELF binary). You did see it. I am using freebsd (started usning unix on sunos 4.x) and prefer BSD style unix, but linux is getting to be a very stable and GOOD os. I still prefer BSD due to my intro to unix (hate solaris, but have to deal with it), but linux is a good SysV style for PC's, if that's what you like. Jamie If Zeno's paradox is true, then how did he get halfway there in the first place?
