It was fine under Microsoft. What > did you do to break my computer? > *LOL* I invite everyone here to join Josef Grosch and myself on a few installa-thons for some similiar experiences. I would love to have a few programmers there to experience the true needs of the "comman people" who want to get rid of MS but don't want another hobby. I have to explain that FreeBSD is great, but there *IS* a learning curve. But lets face it, do we really want to run our servers on something for the desktop? If we really want that market, we need a FreeBSD-desktop version. IMHO. BTW: on a side note. At the last installa-thon the Linux group was advertised, but not there. After a dozen of so people asked my girlfriend where the Linux people were, she told one person that "their server crashed so they could'nt make it, would you like to try FreeBSD instead?" Looking like a cat stunned in oncomming headlights they turned around and left. Nicole > Greg > -- > Gregory S.
