OK this is the 2nd time you've said that, and I'm afraid I'm going to have to respond. :) FreeBSD is *not* Red Hat, nor any other "flavor" of Linux. Who cares if some other flavor of OS does, or does not "do it". Sorry. I *greatly* appreciate that FreeBSD is /different/ than all the Linux flavors, and would dearly hate that it felt that it should feel/be "Linux like". Over sensitive? Perhaps. But I simply couldn't resist. I'm done now. :) --Chris > > > -- > Cheers, > Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> > FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org > > The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
