Well don't feel too bad Mick, I am going to be leaving FreeBSD also but for other reasons. I have some toys now that need USB support that FreeBSD just isn't doing for me, and being that I am not a coder, just a user I will be switching to Linux in hope that I will have greater success with them. Don't get me wrong I have really loved using FreeBSD over the last 3 years, it's all I have had on my box, but have been getting discouraged since the upgrade(?) to 5.3. It's mostly little thing that have been piling up, console screen saver doesn't work, ports that I use are broken all the time, things like that. Then after searching through every piece of documentation I can find, I ask on a list or IRC channel to either total silence or the common "It's because you are stupid!" reply. Well folks I don't need that anymore. I have decided on a distro, and will be installing over the weekend. Not over FreeBSD, this drive will be removed and lovingly tucked away all files intact. I really do wish I could get it to meet the demands I have now. I will still be lurking, and if FBSD evolves to where it will handle my needs in the future I will be back in a flash, but for now..... -- Lute It's OK to be different FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE
