I may be overstating the obvious here..... How many people are on the hackers/questions mailing lists???? If that is'nt 'peers that are running the same OS which he can benefit from their experiences'. I don't know what is... I have tried BSDI(I work with it), NetBSD(I work with that too), FreeBSD(at home and I work with it), and have worked with others such as AIX, Solaris(Also have that at home), and SCO. Don't forget Coherent. Of all the above(including Linux, yuk! yuk!) I feel FreeBSD is the best for ME... I would NOT impose this upon others because their needs are most likely to be different than mine... Just my $0.02 worth here... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Any comments or opinions in this message are my own and may or may not reflect the comments or opinions of my present or previous employers.
