Mr. Love, I appreciate your work and the lifelong efforts of Mr. Nader. However, there are other, and in my opinion, better options than Linux. I use FreeBSD (www.FreeBSD.org), a decendant of the Berkeley Unix. I beleive it to be more stable than Linux since Linux suffers from one of Microsoft's major flaws: trying to be everything to all. Linux also relies on development to come from several directions. Not a good thing - especially on a system you may make your living with. FreeBSD has a dedicated development team and a large group of volunteers who man the mailing lists, responding in their areas of expertise. The best news is that it is free. Or yu can purchase it from several major book chains for less than a Windows upgrade, with an excellent book by Greg Lehey , "The Complete FreeBSD". If you have questions, let us know! Keep up the good work, John Kenagy Austin, Texas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
