It's free. Of course, you can post the kind of problem you have with _really_ more details so we can help you. Starting with "$ uname -a" would be a good idea, and then describing various problems so we can help you to change your mind :-) Thank You -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][French piss me off - Cartman, South Park] [The FreeBSD User Guide][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/freebsd/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
