Then came the L-word (everyone has a skeleton or two in his closet) because it was smaller than 386BSD, and then came the FreeBSD because it worked consistently (and was documented as well). /Marino To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
