I generally get the feeling that `Workstation Hardware'[1] has a better chance of being supported under Linux than FreeBSD. I may be talking rubbish, though ;-) [1] SoundCards; funky USB magic to talk to your digital camera; that kind of thing. -- Mike Bristow, Geek At Large ``Beware of Invisible Cows'' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
