The last time I mentioned I use Intel CPUs exclusively it started a =
religious war :)
Anyway the reason is quite simple ... the things have never given me =
trouble &=20
AMDs / IDTs have been responsible for more weird "features" than I can =
count.
I don't give a rats about "philosophy" .... either something gives the =
results I want
with a minimum of aggro (in which case I'll use it) or it doesn't (in =
which case I won't
se it) eg I have a few Win2K systems that I've found infinitely superior =
in terms of=20
usability & reliability to any linux I've used / if I want a GUI unix =
I'll use Solaris &=20
CDE in preference to XFree & KDE etc etc ....... some do the job and =
some are=20
dogs. FreeBSD (sans X) happens to do what I want as a webserver or =
gateway ...
I don't use it for other purposes because it doesn't meet my =
requirements

  Hmm...
  If you have an Intel processor you SHOULD be using Winodws.. that is =
if you subscribe to Bill Gates way of thinking.  But, I can guess that =
isn't very popular here. *grin*
