In fact, there are many improvements I'd like to see in FreeBSD, as well as in the applications provided for this OS (which tend to be sponsored by Bloaty more and more). FreeBSD is in fact an excellent OS for beginners, because it teaches the basics - the things that are REALLY important when you want to do something with computers, expecially when you want to do this as a job to make money with it. Stupidly clicking on squeaking and dancing buttons is nothing intelligency is needed for. FreeBSD, on the other hand, improves learning habits, extends knowledge and leads to precious experiences. I don't know much about the "ethic of FreeBSD", because I use it as an OS, not as a church. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
