I use Linux, but I'm considering trying FreeBSD, > however, comments like your's do NOT make me want to try it. ok, that is my opinion. I used Linux-68k (one year) and PC-Linux (some month). And then there was a friend using FreeBSD, he told me to install it. And I am happy! There are no crazy links (/usr/X11, /usr/X11R6, /usr/X386, /usr/spool, /var/spool, ect.), nobody release cracy binaries with personal settings, not thousends of patches and workers, and FreeBSD is a OS, not only a kernel. There is a src-tree (or distribution) and a ports collection with all the commands and tools are necessary. I learned all this thing by working, but the friend, I may asking, use FreeBSD. And this is very important ... -- Gruß, Andy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Berge von unten, Kirchen von außen und Kneipen von innen ... shanee@rabbit.augusta.de Zirbelnußtown -------------------------------------------------------------------------
