I bought my first computer at the end of january last year. I started hearing all sorts of great things about Linux and how it never crashed etc and decided I didn't like windows and so would give it a try. I was browsing the net looking for a place to download it from and I ran across this quiz thingy - some magazine was doing an article on various oses. I took the quiz and it said bsd would be just perfect for me and now here I am. Hope to be useful to the project eventually :) Chris Moline To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
