Well, if you keep telling yourself this long enough, you may end up believing it. I can't but note that that's the position the commercial Unix vendors took: Microsoft is for the desktop, Unix is for servers. If you look where that attitude took them (you may need to do some archaeology there), you might want to reconsider. Actually, that's what people keep saying about Linux, too. Linux is for servers, MS Windows is for the desktop. Linus Torvalds prominently disagrees, pointing out that you either conquer the desktop or YOU DIE. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
