FreeBSD is rarely rebooted. While you may not care, please bear in mind that there are users who do care. Personally I think that the kernel boot time is the killer here and the work should go there and second on the rc system. PS: nothing wrong in having an OS that boots faster, performs better is more stable than others :). This is something I would like to see as an improvement. Wouldn't you ? -- Best regards, Claudiu Vasadi
