We've all seen the excreta of these and many other frustrations in the list archives. Can the FreeBSD core team address some of these issues and *market* the results to make FreeBSD a more worthwhile upgrade path than *any* Linux distro? I patently hope so! Pls cc: me as I am not currently subscribed. Thanx. G -- -- "You can't separate peace from freedom because greg@gilliss.com -- no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom."
