-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 1. FreeBSD: No integrated GUI. Faster, More secure (kerberos). Free. NT: Integrated GUI. Slow (in some cases) unstable (in some cases). Expensive. 2. I dunno. Pick for your self. 3. 100% Free. 4. Yes, src/sys/ 5. Probably not. I (An 11 year old) learned it in a few weeks. 6. I think only i386 (386 thru PII) and Alpha, not sure though. 7. Heck ya! 8. If you wanted to. Check out XWindows. 9. I dunno. I'm trying to learn ANSI C myself. gcc and cc are compilers. 10. People who network use FreeBSD. Also probably crazy 11 year olds, ppl who want a challenge, people who hate Micro$oft... A popular program? hmm... lynx? xwindows? hehe ----------------------------------------------------------------- Robert J. Lynn Jr. (TeChYMaN, TechyMan, rjlynn, TeChY) "What does rm -rf * do?"
