> strange. Whenever I come in touch with Linux, I have the feeling that > the people better would have kept Windows on their machine. the first time i logged on to a linux system, i said `ls`, it came out in color, and i walked away. i have been a freebsd lover for a couple of decades, and 4.3 before that. but in the last couple of years it has become really painful. and .bashrc has helped me not have broken fingers on linux, and the bottom line is a *lot* less pain. at least once a month, i have to do port security updates on over a dozen freebsd systems. it takes most of a day if i am lucky. the linux systems update automagically and send me email telling me what they did. i value my time. if i did not value freebsd, i would just walk away saying nothing. but the community seems to be in some sort of fantasy that things are OK and nirvana is just around the corner. linux has matured, believe it or not. freebsd, ports in particular, has rotted. and folk are voting with their feet. randy
