By the way, speaking of that, things in FreeBSD tend to be more synchronous with docs than in Linux.

In Linux the applications tend to break and require recompilation when the kernel is upgraded to the next second-digit version. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
