If you have "bought into the hype" there's not much we can do for you.... however, if you have an open mind and are interested in a very stable and powerful alternative to Linux, please feel free to travel over to http://www.freebsd.org/ check out the install directions and give it a whirl. Be forewarned, most Linux users that try FreeBSD don't go back to Linux... and i wouldn't want you to loose the investment you've put into you Linux box. :) -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
