Nope, I am alive and well thank you. Why are using usenet anyhow? Shouldn't we be discussing the linux vs freebsd issues in the Mbone, that is if you have a good mbone solution 8) Well, if you want to be fashionable and just keep the thread linux vs freebsd alive, then sure lets have the freebsd folks bash the linux folks and vice-versa. Also, I see the issue of linux vs freebsd come up often enough that anyone that has access to the Net and a web browser can do their own research. I guess some feel that is easier to just post 8) -- Amancio Hasty Hasty Software Consulting Services Tel: 415-495-3046 Fax: 415-495-3046 Cellular: 415-309-8434 e-mail: hasty@star-gate.com Powered by FreeBSD
