I'm sorry you feel that way. I have FreeBSD 2.1.0-Release up and running on 9 
machines on my subnet, and that number will be growing shortly. This includes 
my gateway/POP server/Apache 1.0.5 httpd server/and more, which works fine 
for me, with my simple, plebian needs.

However, in view of your opinion, I'm surprised by the number of recent posts 
I see in this newsgroup with your name on them. If you don't like FreeBSD (and 
I'm sure you're not alone), that is entirely your privilege. But in that case, 
I'd really appreciate it if you would move off to some newsgroup that deals 
with whatever it is that you *do* like, and have the courtesy to stop 
cluttering up this NG with this kind of garbage.

Thank you,

Ken
