I surfed to all the sights I could get my hands on and found something strikenly familiar. They all had "Powered by FreeBSD" (or a varient therof) on the bottom of their site. So I started in at freebsd.org and loved their online documentation so I purchased 2.2.6 and have yet to be disapointed. Even my mistakes don't kill my box (unlike all varients of Win/WinNT that I've used...and I've used a lot). *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@* *@ It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it *@* *@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@*@* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
