There'S one I know about FreeBSD, from the gslug.org message board, that BSD is a little bit more stable, but that's all. any other differences? I'd be glad to hear from you guys again. -- - Alex mailto:keex@gmx.de Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
