Just do it! Either one... You'll be better off in either case than using Microsoft products. > Can you give me any advantaged of FreeBSD compared to linux? The penguin mascot sucks. The FreeBSD daemon isn't a drunk and seems much more "hip" to me. I heard he is a notorious stoner though. Oh, I forgot, Tux (the penguin) joined Alcoholics Anonymous a couple of years ago. That's why you don't see him drinking in public anymore. In years past, he had a mug of beer everytime you saw him. Of course reports have been circulating that ever since he moved to the United States he started backsliding and fre- quently binges in private. > Are there any disadvantages? The constant barrage of questions about whether FreeBSD is "better" than Linux. :-) Jerry Hicks wghicks@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
