Now i read somewhere that the > 2.4 kernel is expected to match BSD pretty much across the board. I recently read Bill Clinton balanced the federal budget over Congress's dead body, put an end to war, reduced all women to equality, and invented a toothpaste that makes teeth whiter. Al Gore had nothing to do with the above, he was busy inventing the internet, optimized Chinese financial resources, and nursed the Snail Darter back from the endangered species list. Not to mention all the Elvis sightings. Microsoft would never lie, they have been saying for years that NT is faster, better, more secure, more reliable, etc, than Unix. The best adivce I've read came from fortune(6): Don't read everything you believe. To which we can add the obvious: Don't believe everything you read. As to whether or not FreeBSD or Linux is bestest? Try both for yourself. If you can't measure or quantify a difference the way you use a computer, then it doesn't matter. IMHO: FreeBSD people are nicer to hang out with and have a better sense of humor than Linux people. :-) -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
