Umm..now we are not going to have another flame war aren't we... To say the truth i feel that in UNIX world FreeBSD and Linux will live by the same scenario as many other systems live (like Windows and Os/2) For years IBM writing OS/2 , and as much as OS/2 is strange and perverted it's nice system to some degree and for sure it's MUCH better then windows. But... whatever you say and what reasons you find Windows used thousands of times wider, even though Windows is just a crap (and i hope nobody going to argue THAT) and OS/2 is not-such-a-bad-system... Something similar is happening with Linux and FreeBSD and probably this is going to be continued whatever we do..1 --Ugen
