I guess the real question is, what are the advantages to using FreeBSD over Linux? I'm currently using Slackware Linux 3.0, but FreeBSD seems to have some very good documentation. It's starting to get ( may have ) some of the features of Linux, like read/write access to MS-DOS partitions. But I'm not sure it's something I want to switch over to. Thanks, Brian
