Heh. :-) Well, to tell the truth, I've already come *this* close to saying "F" it, and coming back to FreeBSD. Had a devil of a time troubleshooting a networking problem last night. Was up into the wee hours of the morning, with god-know-how-many reboots, and still no luck. Finally worked it out this morning, thank goodness, but talk about frustration there for a while! I sure could have used some of the tools I've grown accustomed to using under FreeBSD, I can tell you that! We'll see. I have a feeling this little fling will wear itself out rather quickly, and I'll be back with you guys again, probably before the summer's even out. :-) While Windows *does* have a lot of neat toys you can download and play with, when I got to thinking about what I was doing the last few days, it dawned on me that all it was was the same stuff I would have been doing under Unix (reading news, mail, grabbing files, playing MIDIs and MP3s, etc.), only with a somewhat more glossy facade over it all, and a heck of a lot less "meat" underneath. Besides, if I don't give FreeBSD another go, I'll never get to see what it would have been like to do a network install over a fast Ethernet connection. Curiosity's *bound* to get the best of me. :-) God, I feel *so* much better this morning, now that my net is back up.
