I believe you should say that "the winner was debian FOR ME IN MY SITUATION". My use for freebsd is for a low-maintenance i'net gateway for my small office, which can range anywhere from four to ten machines of various OSs. I need only a CLI, accessible through SSH, NAT and firewalling capabilities. Yes, you can get this with other OSs, but security was primarily my intent. So...the winner was FreeBSD by far. =3D) --=20 Isaac Grover, Owner Quality Computer Services of River Falls, Wisconsin Computer Consulting, Networking, Maintenance, and more.
