I believe this has been discussed fairly extensively within the last couple of months here on -mobile. Unfortunately, it isn't clear to me that anything approaching consensus is likely to be achieved soon. (This is more of a problem in advising someone who is just getting started, rather than a functional issue. IMO, of course.) Basically, there are several approaches, and each has imperfections (as well as the normal engineering-type trade-offs). I put a description of the approach(es) I've taken up at http://www.catwhisker.org/~david/FreeBSD. Cheers, david -- David H. Wolfskill david@catwhisker.org As a computing professional, I believe it would be unethical for me to advise, recommend, or support the use (save possibly for personal amusement) of any product that is or depends on any Microsoft product.
