Hi Robert, Thanks for the offer, the can rest assured that we will make use of that in The Netherlands for the next computer fair/demo days/install perties ! Today was the first of 3 days of 3 days HCC. About 40.000 people past 2 FreeBSD stands. From the amount of interest I can say it is going very well. However: the most often heard question is "what Linux distribution is this ?".... : - ) Ahum, well as you can understand that takes some time explaning, but all is well. Looking forward to tomorrow and Sunday, if all goes well the Dutch FreeBSD User Group should have quite a few new members. The 'virus' is spreading. Kind regards, Aernoudt "Robert A.
