I began with a small part of my HD set aside for FreeBSD so I could experiment and learn, and as I got more comfortable with FreeBSD, it began to take over more and more disk space. I now have a firewall/gateway running natd, sshd, wu-ftpd, apache, sendmail, named, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't remember right now. FreeBSD is also almost entirely taking over my desktop machine as well. I spend about 90% of my time in X running KDE. ================== Quote of the Day ===================== When you read a classic you do not see in the book more than you did before.
