However, I know one FreeBSD or NetBSD user (an employee of my ISP) who apparently hates Linux so much that he even calles his computer linuxsucks. [vlad@borg vlad]$ nslookup linuxsucks.iceonline.com Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: linuxsucks.iceonline.com Address: 206.12.154.70 I asked him why he said it was clumsy, ugly and so on. I think I still have his email message somewhere here. I am not sure why he said that, I've been using Linux for one year already and been quite happy with it. He'd be better of to rename it to microsoftsucks.iceonline.com. Regards, Vlad
