But when showing someone my Favorite OS <FreeBSD> and they see color in mutt and color in slrn <Thank You SLANG> they like it. Color is pretty, It also takes away that all UNIX-like computers are not in monochrome. It takes a little harshness from the newbie. I also hate this too.. Linux does it.. Why can't we? I am no newbie to some but might be to others. I might not be able to code, so I put what I can back to the project any way I can. The reason for the aboe short paragraph is this OLD SCHOOL NEW SCHOOL crap. This is an operating system that is going to mature no matter what. At least we can try to keep it on track to were it is attractive/secure/functional to any new user that hears about it.
