The fact a lot of people dont need it does in no way mean we should not provide a way to enable such an interface. There's a lot of people who actually WOULD enjoy it. Another reason i get from some people not to use FreeBSD is that it does not support multiple languages. But i personally dont see that as a problem at all. I know i must have looked very scary when i saw "Opdracht kan niet uitgevoerd worden" for the first time in one of the linux distros.. brrrr :) Regards, Joao -- =========================================================================== Joao Schim telefoon:(+31)40-2649860 fax:(+31)40-2649861 http://www.bowtie.nl BowTie Technology BV Raiffeisenstraat 7 - 5611 CH Eindhoven
