The lack of a "center" is what keeps me from getting really involved with Linux. I did not know (but was not surprised) that a commercial force being introduced would really disturb the flow....

FreeBSD filesystems may be slower, but losing data is even slower. I really like the fact that there are official routes (in FreeBSD) from which to get patches, etc, rather than being posted all over the net (Linux style). I don't intend or want to start up the debate, just sharing why I prefer FreeBSD. TjL To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
