I certainly ended up with FreeBSD - "You're the do-it-yourself kind of person!".. not surprising, since I take the initiative to learn as much as I can about FreeBSD. :) Although I do object to the "do-it-yourself" conclusion that c|net takes in regards to FreeBSD... the Ports collection is rather easy to install, and every port/package is easy to manage.. the OS itself.. easy to install.. where's the do-it-yourself stuff? ;) Nevertheless, I'm glad they chose FreeBSD over other myopic choices, such as *cough* Solaris. They should have mentioned PicoBSD for the "small computing" idea, though.. => Advocate! -- Will Andrews System Administrator, Gatekeeper Technologies Powered by FreeBSD - http://www.gatekeep.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
