I was doing SunOS admin when I discovered FreeBSD several years ago...actually I think it was called 386BSD back then, or was it BSD386? Anyway I loaded it on my spiffy new 386DX40 system and was astounded how much it was like the Sparcs (1's, I think) I admin'ed at work. I learned a LOT about Unix by dinking with my 'BSD box at home. A lot changed with Solaris to make it much less BSD'ish. It's a lot more bloated with CDE and the various admintools that I don't think add that much value. But then, I still think vi is the best sysadmin tool... Mark
