It's probably 20 times more stable than Win 3.1, and 5 times more stable than Win 95. :-) > I'm wanting to start up my own ISP using BSD it was a > recomendation for the ISP now he runs it and I have gotten use to it. Hmm, i think you've got quite some way to go until you will even be able to start your ISP business. Be assured, by the time you've got the knowledge how to handle all this, there will be FreeBSD 2.2.5. :) No offense intended, but i think somebody who's going to be serious about ISP business won't even install a DOS partition at all first. Waste of space. You even didn't learn how to give your mail a subject line yet... how are you going to teach your customers about Internet Netiquette? Sorry for my ramblings. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
