Damned! Even i could spit out some good arguments in favor of FreeBSD as a superior *workstation* platform for the serious developer. Ok, just to get serious, i couldn't live without the base64 programm and the unique history completion of tcsh (not found in any linux i know of). Not to say about the only free unix implementation of JavaComms in FreeBSD ports. Also it strikes me (alright starting to feel i am getting in chat mode), that after a decade of intense advocacy, public attention, and corporate support, linuxes are still on par with FreeBSD, which is based on few (compared to linux) individuals... I wouldn't classify this "operation linux" as high "value for effort". > > DES > -- -Achilleus
