But i need it compiled with cp1251 support and i need this support to be very fast. So, i will build it from the sources. > >> Mandrake is crap.

The 4.4BSD distributions are rather > severely split compared to the Linux distributions. I see other way, I'd rather thinks of different BSDs as specialized cases of BSD. 4.4BSD is good for routers, OpenBSD for secure servers, FreeBSD is good for web servers, dialup cases, other stuff. > BTW, consensus leads to standard crap like Motif and CDE. I don;'t mean THIS kind of consensus. I doubt that you will hear from FreeBSD user that NetBSD is a crap or 'switch to OpenBSD'. That;s what i mean.
