I'm afraid I've not time to RTFT today (at least not ATM), but I've got to ask a few questions of this list: 1. FreeBSD is not UNIX, by definition and agreement. So, does the book really apply? Will another lawsuit loom large on the horizon if it does? Does SCO have personnel who "check out" related OSes to determine whether they meet the appropriate "UNIX-hating" criteria? (ref. POSIX). 2. Is 'UNIX-hating' an acquired taste/skill/disability? Is it possible to be stupid/ignorant/naive enough to not hate UNIX? 3. Should we hunt down the author, install FBSD on his machine(s), chant "make install clean" repeatedly whilst we transliterate his work into groff, Tex, Docbook and LaTEX via the stuff in ports/converters? Perhaps he's never run a modern OS .... Just trolling, Kevin Kinsey -- Stop me, before I kill again!
