Trust me, it's been very hard at times= for reasons beyond the scope of this message.=20 Anyway, I started a company which builds servers and home user systems, all= built upon FreeBSD. The reason I say that is _not_ to try to sell you anyt= hing. Rather to say that indeed, FreeBSD imho is the finest of OS's around.= With many new ports for various things, I no longer (for some time now) ha= ve need for a windoze box, other than to test out file and print sharing. Y= ou can run linux programs with FreeBSD by installing /usr/ports/emulators/l= inux_base.=20 Yes I truly advocate the use of FreeBSD and spreading the "good news" about= FreeBSD's strengths. In actuallity, you have nothing to loose, but a lot t= o gain in tryingit out.
