I was in the process of ditching the Amiga as a platform *and* the wretched evangelical user base. It may sound silly, but I chose BSD because the people tinkering with it seemed, on the whole, to be more mature than the Linux crowd. My decision to not take the NetBSD fork in the road was similarly inspired. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
