I'd even say it was easier, but I'm biased 'cause I love FreeBSD. My roomate and I put *nix on our personal machines the same day, he used Red Hat and I did FreeBSD. One year later we're both running FreeBSD. :) Brandon -- bfoz@glue.umd.edu "Lead, follow, or get run over" "In life there are those who steer, and those who push" "I'm not impatient, the world is too slow" "Life is short, so have fun, play hard, and leave a good looking corpse" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
