What was I thinking? After trying running a Windows-only box for a while, and then making a brief foray into RedHat 6.0, I'm finally back where I belong. I must have been out of my mind. Had to be. Feels so good to be back with FreeBSD. I cannot believe the difference between it and Linux. Linux's multitasking can't hold a candle to FreeBSD's. No sir, no way, no how. Tried playing MP3s under Linux on this 166 MHz box; choppy, choppy, choppy. Under FreeBSD, smooth as butter. Simply no comparison. And the RPM system doesn't even come close, IMHO, to matching FreeBSD's ports/packages system. Everything in FreeBSD just feels better, what can I say? I must plead temporary insanity for ever quitting FreeBSD. Luckily, I came to my senses in a relatively short time (only about a month or so). I guess it was just something I had to do at the time, but now I can't even remember why. Nuts. Please excuse my dalliances. Won't happen again. :-) Conrad, the prodigal son returning ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Conrad Sabatier Date: 18-Jul-99 Time: 04:27:10 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
