That was the greatest day of my life. When I realized that I could do everything with FreeBSD better than with windows. I got rid of the partition and have been free ever since. No longer can I be called a Windows' whore (a little name people started calling me because I had to use windows even though it made me feel dirty ;-) ). Go ahead -- shout it from the rooftops, this is something people cannot hear enough of. BTW: Just in case, you might want to get "The 12 Steps for Getting Away from Win95 and other MS Products." It can help you from falling back into your old habits. Then again, I still haven't hit the withdrawal stage (well over a year later)... but you never know. Some people might have actually enjoyed the Blue Screens. -Kevin Brunelle Ex-Windows Whore -- "Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle and quick to anger."
