Explain to me how Win95/NT 'supports' it's easier with day-day | > bugfixes in a manner that's better than FreeBSD? | I wish my Vaio's winmodem worked on FreeBSD. Same for the | sound card, and don't get me started on DVD playback support. Winmodem can't be helped. But sound and DVD both work on my VAIO z505js Sound was done by "device pcm," and DVD just "worked." Many people have had trouble installing drivers in WinXX. In fact, on my desktop system, FreeBSD supports a couple pieces of *new* hardware that Win2K cannot use. Lucent seems to have released a winmodem driver for linux. | > However, back to the issue at hand. Microsoft doesn't support old OS's | > like Win95 and NT3.5/4.0.

If you buy a new machine from Telenet with FreeBSD or BSD/OS, I think it would be supported... But, are you buying FreeBSD when you do an FTP install? -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
