I guess that I am just a smuck, hehehe -- I am getting GOOD work because of my BSD involvement :-). It is working *exactly* as I had predicted (and it has worked well for one of my friends with *significantly* less involvement in FreeBSD.) FreeBSD is becoming the one to watch... :-). I KNOW that if I had said that I had involvement in Linux, I could have been getting really good sysadmin jobs (instead of RESEARCH and development jobs.) :-). John dyson@freebsd.org
