$ From what I can tell of all these messages posted here, it seems Linux is

$ performance of their computer, and FreeBSD (likely -- but again I have

$ intentions) has been around longer, and is thus a bit more stable in 
$ terms of development, distribution, and availability.

"Yeah, right.  Don't go running you're mouth like that when you don't know 
all the facts..."
