Nope, you're right. I offered the Tunes.org site more as one of the best beginnings I know for that game we've all played, Follow-the-Links, than as an authority in itself. I suppose that OSNews ( http://www.osnews.com ) is another fun starting point for information on a variety of OSs, mostly Win, Lin, *BSD, OSX and BeOS-related. It's right up-to-date, but again all this material will certainly have a point-of-view. If you're looking for objectivity, then heck, I'm stuck. -- Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
