The end of your academic career, being called a jerk, a wrecker, possibly since you may not know what you are doing damaging a system that is probably difficult enough to manage as it is? > I know I'm asking for advices on 'how to hack' Windows. No you are asking for advice on how to "crack" Windows. People on this list often throw stones at each other, but not often through windows. Hacking is creative, cracking is destructive. > But since you all hate > Windows, Do we ? What evidence have you found for that ? There is sometimes an unruly thread or two on here comparing Windows and BSD, but it usually dies down when the protaganists get bored with it. I think you may find many people on this list who use both systems, either for work or pleasure. Many people do start to use OS's like FreeBSD because of a dislike of Windows, of Microsoft as a company, of frustration with it's limitations, because they are interested, because they want to know what all the fuss is about, because they would like to become knowledgeable about Unix, or because there was nothing good on TV that evening. > and you've all devoted your lifes fully and truely to the use of BSD > UNIX, I'm hoping the replies on this e-mail will be positive. > Mmm. No I have devoted my life to sex and drugs and rock and roll. FreeBSD is just my way of relaxing. Why not try a different approach. See if the Sysadmin has a PC lying around that is not spec'ed high enough to run Windows 2000. Ask him, politely, if you could maybe put a FreeBSD system on there, That it might be interesting for others as well. Stress that it may have an educational benefit. Stay in late after school to work on it. Make it a little project so it looks like initiative rather than subversion. If he is sensible he will take any Network card out of it and search your pockets for UTP cabkes first .. but who knows. This is a list for questions of how to effectively use FreeBSD. Not on how to destroy a school network. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
