Amen to that...it would be nice to know what the FreeBSD userbase count is like, but since it's not payware, noone knows for sure. The only sales numbers that really exist, I would imagine, are for the CD sets, and that would definitely be an understatement, since not everyone gets FreeBSD on CD. -- Lee C. -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet #watertower) A!
