It does...but, "where I work", getting FreeBSD in on the Intel boxes themselves is like pulling teeth. I've succeeded in getting 3 ppl converted over on their desktops, and "sliding through" a server so far...all in the past couple of months (taken me ~2years to get to *that* point)...but, I do have a Sparc sitting here, sitting idle...putting NetBSD onto that *would* be sweet... Thanks for the pointer, hadn't thought about that...will look at it :) The more *BSDs, the happier I am :) Thanks... Marc G.
