It wasn't for about a year after I played > with Linux that I even heard of FreeBSD... uh. i had been using freebsd for months when i first heard about linux at all, and it's somewhat strange since i live in helsinki and was studying in a college at the time... later i've earned that back then, 92, the linux had already been a while, so had freebsd. and mostly coz of our administrator of the time, and those linux freaks we had in our school from the start of 93, i was pretty well alienated from any ideas of ever even considering running linux. since i found the attitude those linux people had revolting. it was in category of religious fanatics, only few magnitudes more. *gag* anyway, incidently, atleast few of those back then freaks have turned into freebsd as soon as they left school and started to do something serious. *smile* mickey -- mika@aeon.net <- just watch me rising on rc5 stats :p
