There is a door. Everytime you walk through that door, you hit your head. You discover that by separating your head from your body, you no longer hit your head when you go through the door. Was the problem solved? Yes. Was the correct cause indenified? No. You don't want to use FreeBSD, fine. Just don't claim it's broken because you don't want to do the work to find out what the real problem is. -BD
