[snip] I too would like to see such a list (see my previous post about static vs dynamically linked binaries). Sometimes I am reluctant to post such questions because I know they aren't "hard" questions to answer. But, when you don't know something, no matter how "easy" it may be, you still need to be able to find an answer. While on the subject of newbie questions, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me over the last few months. I feel I am starting to get a grasp of the operating system, thanks to many people's help. To the team, great OS! BTW, I am one of the ones who "stumbled" onto the FreeBSD OS. I was having problems getting Linux to do what I needed, so I tried FreeBSD after "accidentally" finding the web site. It has been a great success!
