And I currently write this mail under Win95.I'am new to Unix (maybe 4 month) and only used FreeBSD2.2.X After a *lot* of wasted time, I finded than it was so much easy to start learning Unix without Xfree86 and without all shortcut. You will find the changement *hard* because there is no drag and drop, no GUI, no easy thing with mouse. But you will more easily understand how it is. Really, if you try the easy way, you learn nothing. Maybe you could be interested to try it (its free, only time is wasted). After learning a lot, I suggest to use Xfree. I have Win95 and FreeBSD on one 3.6 gig hard disk because of family restriction: they use Win95 so when I take the computer, I have to reboot. It look like a sexy MS-Dos black screen Malartre -- -------------------------------------------------- malartre@aei.ca ICQ #4224434 www.aei.ca/~malartre/ Unix FreeBSD-2.2.6 -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
