I'm using 2 machines, both running 2.2-STABLE as workstations. My one at work provides me a place to do my numerical work for my PhD along w/ writing my thesis and articles using LaTeX and the one at home is doing mostly the same stuff, but I also use it to test ports that I've done etc. I have NO other operating system, not even DOS anymore. :-) Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
