I have someone that I might be setting up a unix workstation of some kind for and I'm debating whether I should use FreeBSD or some Linux distro like mandrake or debian. I will be there most of the time to help if needed as this is for work and will not be his home desktop, at least not yet. He only have some experience with using dos and windoze, but he does have some technical background with computers. --=20 I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
