Admonitions? Saving graces? I won't argue preferences. I'm happy with my Unix/Linux/FreeBSD workstations, but you may not be. Go with what works best for you. Personally, though? Buy a Mac. No, I'm not kidding. My wife bought a new iMac last weekend, and that little box is great. You have a terrific GUI, lots of commercial software ready-from-the-box, and a pretty featureful FreeBSD system for when you feel like hacking around in a shell. After playing with it for a few hours, I doubt I'll ever again suggest Windows to someone I don't dislike. Mac OS X is pretty, it's stable, it's easy to use, and it's largely Unix. I can't think of a better combination than that. -- Kirk Strauser The Strauser Group - http://www.strausergroup.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
