However if you are trying to be creative in saying that IE stole Netscape's code (which is valid in many respects), then ignore my response :) As it goes, my personal bout with Solaris X86 is that it blows. I'm wishing that Netscape will port their servers at least to BSDI (In hopes it'll work on FreeBSD, some BSDI apps do, others don't), or just port it to FreeBSD altogether. But I don't feel bad, because Linux isn't on the options either, it's like DEC UNIX, HPUX, and Solaris.. and in some cases IRIX.. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
