I don't know if its my imagination or what, but it seems to me that pages appear a lot faster in netscape running under FreeBSD than under win98 (I made sure pages weren't cached). Some one told me this is because the win98 TCP/IP stack is slow. Is this so? of course it doesn't hurt to have a DSL connection. I am so happy with it, paying $50/month instead of $20 isn't even an issue any more, the speed is worth it. This is my first experience running any Unix on my home pc. For a developer its pretty nice, very easy to install one of the ported apps. But for an ordinary end user its not turnkey enough. - greg strockbine To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
