Not to belabor the point, but this is precisely why I switched from FreeBSD to Mac for my desktop. For a desktop OS I need something unix-like but with good graphics and all the capabilities of flash, movies, etc., etc. That can be done on FreeBSD, but it takes some work. I work on servers. I don't want to work on my desktop. All my servers are FreeBSD. -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
