Nick, you are the one starting one of your periodic trolls, go back to the Linux group, at least you won't have the other "religious" disagree with your views. (Paraphrased: go back into your hole) Guess you are feeling fiesty again? To those that are suprised at this posting, Nick periodically comes up with some FreeBSD bashing mis-info. He apparently does not read the FreeBSD mailing lists (where much of the real and accurate info is), or he is intentionally mis-informing people. Bottom line, for accurate and up-to-date info, ignore Nick. Read the mailing lists -- even those who are having the worst problems messages are there, and even many of the -current newbies are better informed. Nick has a grudge against FreeBSD. That is cool, but why? What is the gain for Linux or himself? In fact, worse yet, what is the gain for the user base, when many of his comments are SIMPLY NOT TRUE? John
