Problem is, FreeBSD (and Unix in general) is already a better Windows Services server than Microsoft -- just look at Tom Limoncelli's paper "Providing Reliable NT Desktop Services by Avoiding NT Server" at <http://www.bell-labs.com/user/tal/papers/ntdesktop/ntdesktop/ntdesktop.html>. However, this fact doesn't seem to be helping many people, and indeed, it seems that most of the Universe is completely and blissfully ignorant of this fact. I don't think that the situation could possibly improve with .NET. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
