I am one of those idiots that thinks each OS has it's strong points and none will out perform on the same hardware in every case. I am glad to see such great support for FreeBSD, but it has it's place as well as Windows. But what the heck, I just got flamed on a Windows security list for suggesting FreeBSD as a better web and firewall server to someone. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
