Nice article, definitely.. I especially liked the choice of graphic art, and the remark about Grandma's lung machine.. :) I guess the big thing is, the little teenies playing "elite hacker" isn't going to care about the whole GPL thing. It'd be kinda cool to see the ability to compile for any OS (ultimate compatibility) so you could tell FreeBSD "Well this compiled on Solaris.." and set a flag.. The word on the teen street is "FreeBSD can't compile smurf.c".. I guess a clean-cut userbase is a little better than ones that want to wreck stuff, but at the same time it's a +1 on the Linux side of things.. I installed RHS for a week and immediately killed the box, as it goes I'm playing with Solaris x86 (cost me 10 bucks, no args here) and I am still rather distraught of its lack of a C compiler, gzip, etc. so that one is clearly going out the door as well.. --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange 207-942-0275 http://www.droo.orland.me.us My Latest Kernel: FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT (ONEEX) #14: Mon Oct 19 22:36:58 EDT 1998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
