Hallo out there, I've had the opportunity to read your Article in 2nd FB News. It's completely true! FreeBSD is apart from beeing free (of charge) a very good OS! We work here (in my work) with NT and other MS Apps and it always fascinated (=horrified) me (as an assembler programmer) how U could spent/waste so much memory/storage. Everything is programmed there "Quick and Dirty", especially the OS's! I'm (re-) started with 2.2.8 again just a month ago (formerly in 1993 with 386BSD 0.xy????), and even when I like to hack the consol and using the kill -9 very often the system never failed. Still a few devices (e.g. my ISDN Card) remains "dead", but I guess I need time to learn how to create my own drivers. (I'm quite used to have a big search-time for drivers for my beloved OS: OS/2). I'd like to use a dedicated Server for my new dedicated-line to the Internet. It should work as a self-surfin' proxy and ftp-mirror. As working in a high-technology company (we just "thrown" out our 9GB Arrays because newer 36GB are available......thrown to my home "office" ;-) ) Disk space is no problem. But to have a rock-stable and comfortable ftp and proxy is not so easy. But what I've heard FreeBSD (or Linux--but I've used Linux 0.93 and 1.01 and 2.02 and 4.1 and 5.0/5.2 and it's getting bigger and more powersucking any release coming...) is the right way! Could U agree?!
