Haha ;) With an attitude like that, you'd be hard-pressed to convert people to *BSD, which is a shame IMHO, because both *BSD and Linux have lots of good things to offer and (still) have some different strong and weak points... And since both systems are good and freely available with open development - but with a slightly different style - I think it would be better to try and get each user to use the system (s)he likes best, instead of discouraging people from finding the best free unix for their situation. regards, Rik -- Hollywood goes for world dumbination, Trailer at 11. http://www.surriel.com/ http://www.conectiva.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com.br/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
