I would like to call your attention to an inaccuracy in your news article, where you state: You have an array of Linux flavors to choose from. Redhat, SUSE, Mandrake, Debian, FreeBSD and about 100 plus others to pick from" FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution, and is derived from a rewrite of the 4.4BSD code, not the made-from-scratch Linux. What you may be confusing is UNIX vs Linux. Linux is a type of UNIX, as are the many kinds of BSD. If you have any questions about this, i'd be happy to help clarify. Regards, Mit
