X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-chat@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk http://www8.zdnet.com/pcweek/reviews/0616/16linux.html Contains a mini-review of OpenLinux, a product intended to set up small network servers, get a foothold into the corporate workspace, etc. The salient point of the review is when they said setup was still for administrators only, it did not auto-detect all of their hardware correctly, and finding drivers was a problem. Next, they say setting up FreeBSD on the same h/w was no problem. No links, no description of the product, nothing. But a "better than" still beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. :-) -- SCSI is *not* magic. There are many technical reasons why it is occasionally nessicary to sacrifice a small goat to your SCSI chain. --Joshua Fielden
