So I continued to read = on, if I don't go with LINUX I will probably go with FreeBSD. There's = only one thing which irritated me about your site. Nowhere can I find = BSD broken down. If this is truly an acronym what the heck is it = (please don't say its nothing, found this out the hardway with VAX, = searched all over until I found one book which was actually kind enough = to state 'if your looking for what the acronym stands for, don't, one = doesn't exist').
