Any Unix OS is going to give you more or less the same out-of-box experience for shell users, the real difference being in the administrators who manage the machine(s). For shell machines especially, the admin simply has to have a reasonably high level of clue or they can count on a world of grief from their own users, and I don't care if the box in question is running Linux, FreeBSD or Solaris. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
