To read more on freebsd, you can go to http://www.freebsd.org as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD, that should give you sufficient information to move further. You might want to at least go read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_OpenServer to figure out where SCO UNIT stands which is not AT&T/Bell Labs UNIX nor is it FreeBSD. -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
