And you can do it too with FreeBSD. It requires that you install the source. Sure, it's bigger than what Solaris have, but we offer much more. As I said, we do things different. If you are going to pick on the amount of source code you must install, I'll pick on the ability to rebuild the whole system. -- Daniel C.
