This somewhat goes against the natuarl order of things, which I think is: 1) Buy a computer with an OS preinstalled 2) Use it for weeks or months 3) Hear about another OS 4) "Test Drive" the other OS 5) Make an erase/keep decision about the new OS 5a) If keep, make an erase/keep decision about the preinstalled OS -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
