I don't get that either. I usually tell people I recommend FreeBSD because of certain things, but then tell them if there are certain other things they want to do or don't want to wait for, they should stick with Linux. Most people end up installing what most of their friends have anyway, which, around here these days, tends to be Linux.

He's told me horror stories about yours. -matt -- Matthew C. Mead mmead@Glock.COM http://www.Glock.COM/~mmead/
