I recently installed Redhat and FreeBSD...I am familiar with both, but the Redhat install took 3 runs through the install process to get right, and FreeBSD took only one...Granted, they were minor problems in redhat that most people wouldn't come across, but it is still one valid experience of mine...(The FreeBSD install was more flexible than the redhat one). --dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
