Whoops. Sorry all. If netbsd is a cat, and oh!ess!ten is variously a panther, tiger, puma, (pard? olestra?), openbsd is a fish (and some damned anthropomorphic lips), probably freebsd is really a 1938 pontiac, and windows is a cow-duck hybrid with post-it notes stapled to its spine (or maybe that transporter accident from Star Trek: Der Movin' Picture!). -- --
