Hi there. First of all I would like to thank you for the excellent work you are doing with FreeBSD. I am really impressed and I am thinking of installing it in our office as a SMTP server (among other great things.) To be honest, right now I am evaluating also Linux but I am biased towards FreeBSD and if I decide to use Linux it will be only because, apparently, Linux supports more hardware than FreeBSD does. However, I do not like many things about Linux. I will try (I am not promissing it) to make a small report about what I like/dislike from FreeBSD and Linux and give a copy to you. Anyway, right now I have three questions: 1) Are the IBM and National PCMCIA cards the only PCMCIA cards than can be used in FreeBSD?. I know that Xircom cards (the one I have) are not supported but it happens that I have a Megahertz modem that I am not able to use I do not know why. In the documentation, the FAQs, the WWW site and other places I have not seen anything about other PCMCIA cards. 2) Why when I type the command "man <command>" it takes so long to display the corresponding manual page?. In Linux and other UNIX systems as well, that is very fast. 3) Is it okay to make this kind of questions here or should I go to a specific Newsgroup?. I know you are busy people that are working very hard. Ohhh... I almost forgot: I have a NEC Versa V/50 Laptop with 20 MBytes of RAM and 540 MBytes of hardrive space. The Versa V/50 has an Intel 80486@50 MHz. FreeBSD runs pretty fine here. Thanks in advance for your time. Eloy.- -- Eloy A.
