Multi-tasking means that it can run several processes each in their own protected memory space. When you say multithreading I think of lightweight processes. FreeBSD includes the Posix Threads library, so it is possible to write multithreaded programs. I don't think that a significant number of the existing programs that come with FreeBSD is multithreaded, though. (Java comes to mind as an exception.) kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
