The most anyone would say is that, "NetBSD's networking is much "better" than Linux" What does that mean, and what context I have no idea. In the circles that I work in, which includes a lot of universities that are doing various research in the wireless field, there have been arguments from ppl that make these claims. I would love to find some hard data to prove or disprove the claims. I myself like Linux, but my boss always questions me as to why we aren't using NetBSD because he hears all the claims from the other ppl. My usual response is that I have never seen any date to validate it. Walt -- **************************************************************** Walt A.
