I am really thankful for > all information that I can get my hands on! You'll never get an honest answer from this list ... it's a FreeBSD list! The answer is FreeBSD, obviously! It's the most secure, reliable, dependable and stable of those three. It's also better than Windows, MacOS, OpenBSD, and NetBSD (although those last two are close). That's my _honest_ opinion, otherwise I wouldn't use FreeBSD for everything I do (and I mean EVERYTHING). I can't get past the feeling that people who are in college don't understand that THEY are supposed to do the work ... that's how school works. But, then again, I've always been in a position where people have offered to pay me to do their homework, etc. Do the research yourself for goodness sakes. That's why you've got the project, so you can research it yourself. There's a plethora of information available about these systems all over the web, and 2 of them are available free of charge, so you REALLY should be installing them to find out for yourself. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
