So what do you propose to use as workstations with your FreeBSD servers ? (Not that I see much difference in philosophy, nowadays: servers used to be those machines with high throughput all along the night, and now they tend to be those over-reactive transactional n-tier service-providers. What's so different with serving desktop-user requests... Sigh.) Anyway: are you deliberately proposing to concentrate on server, period. And to hell with other users (if one can use FreeBSD to be desktop-productive so much the better, but we shouldn't put too much effort in that) ? gregory
