Maybe Brooks Lackey was referring to choices between: FreeBSD PC-BSD DesktopBSD . . . of which one is FreeBSD, and two are modified FreeBSD. On the other hand, maybe the options Brooks Lackey had in mind were 6.2-STABLE, 6.2-RELEASE, and 7.0-CURRENT. After all, if MS Windows (which is apparently the start-point for this user) can have Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business, and Enterprise, I guess we can have our -STABLE, -RELEASE, and -CURRENT. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] McCloctnick the Lucid: "The first rule of magic is simple.
