Hi, I've been researching going from linux to BSD. I spent the past two days reading up on it and trying to get some information on various distributions. Very sad to say that the IRC channels for any form of BSD are even less useful than the linux channels (hard to imagine, I know :). Some places have 10+ nicks camped out in the channel, but never respond. Sigh. In terms of advocacy or help they are pretty discouraging, taking them off your faq might do you more good than listing them. I've tried every IRC network that comes with Pirch (uggy whinedoz app for IRC) and I can only write that time off as wasted :(. If one is going to hang out on a channel then, IMO, they should participate to some small degree... Still haven't given up on BSD and the the FreeBSD is starting to look like the best of the lot. Someone gave me an OpenBSD ROM and that seemed pretty dark ages stuff. Good security is cool and important but it sure seems to be limited as to what it will run. Oh well, much to learn :-). Hope this helps in some way! Take care, Vikki. -- Victoria Welch, WV9K, DoD#-13, SysAdmin SeaStar.org, vikki.oz.net "Walking on water and developing software to specification are easy as long as both are frozen" - Edward V.
