That explains a lot. :) > > leo@titanic:bash$ > Unexpected iceberg event. kernel panic. actually the story is that the titanic was rendered on linux machines (to keep cost down :P) I don't want to get into a rant here but I've used linux for three years and it isnt all that bad. I've used freebsd for a couple of months and I like it as well. Linux, for me, was not that difficult to setup. I guess it just depends on what you learned from. When i first toyed with freebsd I found things difficult. Ive installed everything from scratch on both FreeBSD and Linux and each has its own little quirks and advantages. One thing I disliked about FreeBSD was its lack of good documentation. Linux blows freebsd away when it comes to comparing documentation projects. Maybe I can motivate some people to write some good documentation (i.e. setting up natd so other hosts behind your gateway can access the internet on one address). Also the primary reason I use unix clones at all is for programming (which I havnt had much time to do in a while) kernel hacking guides and unix programming tutorials, etc would be very appreciated. Anyways, this is just my thoughts on how to make fbsd better. more docs == better! :P BJ Bell (aka Artificer) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
