Make me never want to go back. I would think if you spend enough time with it, these questions may be answered by yourself. I'm assuming you would know your likes/dislikes/opinions about Linux based on what you do with it. So, do the same things with FreeBSD and ask yourself if you feel compelled to keep using it or not. To ask us to "wow" you like some bizarre circus act is a little presumptuous on your part, no? Bob
