Besides the joke with win95, when I was deciding to install a unix on PC for the first time (+- 5 years ago) I decided to use linux because I knew people who where using linux instead of BSD386. If the other case had happened, perhaps I would be using FreeBSD now. (Perhaps not since my disks always were IDE.) -- Alair Pereira do Lago <alair@ime.usp.br> <http://www.ime.usp.br/~alair> Computer Science Department -- Universidade de S~ao Paulo -- Brazil
