Ignoring the answers you get and constructing straw men and in general whining about things that aren't true is being a troll. You're doing all of those things. > We cant complaint to freebsd developers who use emacs and elite tools, > they are able to c0de their own version of freebsd and they no have time > to "window's world feature". Sure, you can complain to them. You just have to know where to do it. In your case, learning to comprehend English would help as well. > Many of us like FreeBSD style, It's polite, serious, clean but We would > like to install freebsd in they hardware we want or in a modile machine. If you like it, use it. If you don't like it, do us all a favor and shut up and go away. If you can't use it on hardware you like, do something constructive about it. Whining on inapproiate lists isn't constructive. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
