I'd wager that a high percentage of people who have tried FreeBSD or Linux have also gone on and tried the other, just to see for themselves what each system is like. Linux popularity can therefore effectively be beneficial for FreeBSD when you really think about it. if more vendors are getting involved with Linux then this will ultimately do more good than bad for the FreeBSD world -- no need to despair. give it time. -SV7- [1] exception error To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
