Mr. Love,

I appreciate your work and the lifelong efforts of Mr. Nader.

However, there are other, and in my opinion, better options than
Linux. I use FreeBSD (www.FreeBSD.org), a decendant of the Berkeley
Unix.

I beleive it to be more stable than Linux since Linux suffers from
one of Microsoft's major flaws: trying to be everything to all.
Linux also relies on development to come from several directions.
Not a good thing - especially on a system you may make your living
with.

FreeBSD has a dedicated development team and a large group of 
volunteers who man the mailing lists, responding in their areas of 
expertise.

The best news is that it is free. Or yu can purchase it from
several major book chains for less than a Windows upgrade, with
an excellent book by Greg Lehey , "The Complete FreeBSD".

If you have questions, let us know!

Keep up the good work,

John Kenagy
Austin, Texas
