I've tried Linux out of idle curiosity/bordeom on at least a half dozen occasions, and I think the longest any install has actually remained on my drive has been maybe a month (and that one wasn't being used at all after a couple of days, just took me that long to get around to removing it). Once you've used FreeBSD, Linux just has a plastic, artificial, "toy" feel. Yes, it looks nice, and I can easily see how newbies could be quite impressed by it's visual appearance, but once one begins to really delve beneath the surface, it's just one disappointment/annoyance after another. I would take even an X-less install of FreeBSD over the prettiest, most "user-friendly" install of Linux any day. It just has "superior" stamped all over it (if one has eyes to see, that is). -- Conrad Sabatier Schnuffel, n.: A dog's practice of continuously nuzzling in your crotch in mixed company. -- Rich Hall, "Sniglets" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
