But very few on FreeBSD. Ever wonder why? One day a number of years ago I spent about an hour in the only local bookstore who would bother to stock a reasonable assortment of ORA books. Noticed the flood of "Linux" books. I was trying to do useful work with Linux back then. So I browsed. Didn't buy a thing. Didn't find a single book that could stand on its own had it not "Linux" in the title. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
