But don't tell her that. ;) Damn good thing, too... When I'm looking at my favorite porn site, I want a RELIABLE OS and web server, not Windows NT running IIS. Now, I do think we should boycott Yahoo, simply because in this electronic age, there is no need to pay for porn. But alas, that is another issue... By the way, to the original lady, you should read the license governing FreeBSD. Even if the FreeBSD group wanted to do anything about this, they are powerless to do so. The license essentially says you can do anything you want with FreeBSD, including hosting sites with pictures of spread-eagle girls. :) -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
