You may not come to a clear conclusion since there is something to be said for both and in some cases it simply boils down to a matter of personal taste. To a large extent, it depends on what tasks you intend to use the machine for and sometimes the hardware you have at your disposal. An extended discussion does not really belong on this list... you'll find plenty of debating on slashdot and other forums. The best thing you can do is try out both and make your own comparison. hth -ac -- Alex Charalabidis WebNet Memphis (901) 432-6000 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
