I think he is right. FreeBSD is so much better then linux but there are things that are not as convenient in FreeBSD as in linux. So when some people try FreeBSD out for the first time they run in to a wall and cancel like our blond friend that e-mailed her visa all over the net. But I can't say it is the FreeBSD teams falt. They work hard and put out a grate OS. Yes linux is convenient but everytime I instrall linux it last about 1 day before I can't stand it and fdisk it. I think we need to work harder to work out the little bugs so newbies will love this OS as much as we do. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul C.
