Have you counted the number of different `distributions' of Linux lately? From the user's viewpoint, BSD is actually much more coherent, because you don't have the nearly the user space differences between the Net/Free/Open/whateverBSDs that you do between the different Linux distributions. They can't even agree on a common directory hierarchy. cjs -- Curt Sampson curt@portal.ca Info at http://www.portal.ca/ Internet Portal Services, Inc.
