Tru64 is probably a good idea for an individual who is only interested in _running_ a system, not playing with it. Bear in mind of course this is a personal license. This personal license would cost me $130CAD but a 5 user commercial license for Tru64 would cost me $7800CAD. FreeBSD on the other hand will cost me only some spare time. -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_CF30ASBXFQQMYJ0CCJD0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
