Because it's here to support the OS, and the level of support relates -directly- to what I can expect here in terms of support of the OS, not even getting started on the LEVEL of support and the PROFESIONALISM of said support, or accuracy there of. Hell, I'm to scared to post and ask a question because of starting a 'flame war'. Perception is everything, and the IMAGE of FreeBSD that is created by this forum, is one of a minority bunch of toddlers, throwing their toys in a cot about each and every little thing that does not go the way they want it. This thread is a PERFECT example there of, but there are many, many, many threads that got COMPLETELY derailed because someone said the smallest little thing that annoyed someone else. GROW UP PEOPLE FFS. If you want the world to believe you have a mature OS, *ACT* like you have a mature OS... Why am I still here, replying, reading? Because, I'm INTERESTED. But that too, will more than likely start a completely different spin off and flame war and mass mails now, with questions like why am I interested and not using FreeBSD.... -- Chris.
