I'm no rabid anti-ms protestor, but I have one thing to say. Never.. ever, so long as you live, ever, even if it's life and death, uninstall MS Internet Exploiter from NT. hahaha.. I don't think my IT department was to happy about the overly informative blue screen that came up each time my system tried to boot. If my FreeBSD machine ever panic's because I installed/uninstall lynx, or lynx makes itself the default shell for root, and I have to browse /dev like a web page, I may have to see what all the hub-bub is about linux! ;^) -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Wilko Bulte [SMTP:wilko@yedi.iaf.nl] > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 1999 2:27 PM > To: dcs@newsguy.com > Cc: davids@webmaster.com; mike@smith.net.au; serge69@nym.alias.net; > freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: [Q] How stable is FreeBSD 3.X ? > > As Daniel C.
