Not all of us do. At least one of us wants a really fast, really reliable system that makes extremely efficient use of its hardware environment. I suspect that that's not quite compatible with all-singing, all-dancing. Maybe, but I'm sceptical. I wouldn't be horribly unhappy with a SunOS 4.x-like system configuration procedure, but after once again getting used to a full-source configuration procedure, I think I'd miss the flexibility even more than the last time I had to live with SCO, ISC, or AT&T. -- Mike Murphy mrm@Mole.ORG +1 619 598 5874 Better is the enemy of Good
