Dear list,
I've installed both Linux and (just yesterday) Freebsd.
I would say that BSD is the simplest and it LOOKS cleaner.
Now I have the problem whereby BSD is installed on the slave drive
and there is no option on LILO to boot from BSD. I'm gonna have
a go at LILO to see if I can make it accept a frigged partition
call to hdb2. Will let you know.
