There was a long long discussion about this on freebsd-chat about 6 months ago. I don't know if Operating Systems are male or female or neuter (gramatically speaking, and being multi-lingual it sometimes causes me an irrelevant amount of anguish). I think it would be safe to call all FreeBSD releases, "Never_come_on_Time" :) I must add, my reply is meant in gest. Humour is not noticeable on FreeBSD-questions. But, and here I am being serious, I think FreeBSD is developing and maintaining a Heritage. It is kind of cautious about it's offspring. I have tried on my network, for professional reasons, just about every version of Linux around. They do not work out of the box, as they claim to. Well, if you want to reply to this then do so to me personally. "Questions" is already busy enough. -- Regards Cliff [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
