Not to mention file name incompatibilities. It's a great solution for what I use it for now which is running textpad as my editor and Netscape with a shell session or two on my XP workstation developing web software running on a nix box. But I'm also learning a line needs to be drawn between convenience and creating needless headaches. >I have trouble trying to not think of my bsd boxes in terms of windows >reliability.
