Learning FreeBSD isn't the only reason to use it. Another is stability. I've never used Gnome, but have used KDE, and I like it a lot. It's actually like a super-Windows. Maybe I need to try Gnome, too, though. I would like to learn FreeBSD, but if the FreeBSD vehicle is to be suitable for more than just use by mechanics, it needs to take care of the everyday driver. I see FreeBSD as a better Windows alternative than Linux, though FreeBSD is, I believe, where Linux was a couple of years ago, in the areas of ease of use and application software availability. Actually, for security, I like OpenBSD even more, but OpenBSD seems to have weaker support than FreeBSD, so FreeBSD would be my open-source operating system of choice if I were setting up an IT site from scratch. -- Phil Helms prh99@netzero.net philhelms@usa.net For-Pay Internet Distributed Processing... http://www.ProcessTree.com/?sponsor=33534 Donated Internet Distributed Processing... http://www.DCypher.Net/ *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/28/2000 at 7:31 PM Giorgos Keramidas wrote: >When a user that comes from Windows or similar environments asks me, KDE >is what I recommend too.
