It is on my todo list to do a round of updates on it. Sadly, it has been for a while; I've been kept too busy lately to do much more than get through the day. On the upside, I don't expect it to be a huge amount of work to update. By its nature, it's oriented on the broad sweeps and philosophical differences, and those don't change. The history is rather flown by, and there are a few details that call for update, to be sure. But by and large, the points I wanted to make with it are just the same now (near a decade later) as they were at the time; FreeBSD is still FreeBSD, and Linux is still Linux. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
