I am a big Linux fan, but FreeBSD has earned my respect. It is extremely solid, and everything works like a well-oiled machine. I have switched the pcnfs/samba servers from Linux to FreeBSD, and sleep very well at night, but my main personal workstation remains a Linux machine, because the fact is, Linux' combination of ext2fs and the clever disk buffer cache design blows everything else away for interactive, disk-intensive work. -- Joe Sloan | http://dostoevsky.ucr.edu jjs@engr.ucr.edu | College of Engineering Upgrade to Linux95! | University of California ~
