[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello Ankush. Good choice is to have FreeBSD instead of Linux,today,since Linux is becoming more and more like Windows and if this trend will not be corrected,it will inherit some of the worst defects of Windows. Luckily FreeBSD is far away from being user friendly like Windows. So we are safe for now. My two cents even if they are not so tight with your requirements. I hope you will appreciate them anyway. Ciao dalla bella Italia.
