"Not everyone is interested in a learning experience." So, you are unwilling to learn anything new. You are well set, and refuse to learn how anything else works, apart from what you already know. Then, I'm afraid, you'll find that it's hard to use anything, be it FreeBSD, Linux, SunOS or Windows' newest incarnation of an OS. "Some people are just interested in dumping anything with Microsoft's name on it." Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you suggesting that to use Microsoft's Windows OSes you did not invest time and money to learn how to use the product? I really don't think so. You did do a lot of reading. You did search in the documentation for ways to accomplish your tasks. You did browse the Internet, and search the Usenet archives. You did dig in the Microsoft 'Knowledge Base' or whatever it is called this month. All these things, are exactly the same things that you will have to do to use *any* operating system effectively :) Why do you seem so annoyed that to use FreeBSD you have to learn how it works? -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
