One of my contracts involved developing on Linux, when only 1 partition was available on the development machine I had at home. Returning to Slackware after several years of FreeBSD was a bit of a pain, especially whenever I had to install third-party software. I'm back to using FreeBSD now, though. May you find the chance to return to the FreeBSD "company" too :-) <evil-freebsd-advocate-mode> If FreeBSD can be used instead of Linux and perform the same tasks as that dreaded Fedora installation, see if you can convince the boss to use FreeBSD instead of the stupi^W^H Redhat installation. [ Lots of angry comments about Fedora problems snipped. ] </evil-freebsd-advocate-mode>
