I'm not usually an apologist for the clueless myself, and I don't think Adam falls into that group. He did write that he can install Linux, though he didn't mention which Linux. FreeBSD's install (and terminology thereof) is different enough from RedHat's where I could see an RH Linux user becoming confused during the install. RH's default desktop install does indeed put a more ready-to-rock environment on the destination disk - too much so, IMHO, but I prefer FreeBSD's lean-and- mean approach. FreeBSD's sysinstall has been a point of "controversy", and, IIRC, is undergoing some sort of overhaul, though I find it quite acceptable, myself. A reply like yours doesn't do anything to promote FreeBSD, which, in this particular forum, ought to be a consideration in replies. This isn't the hacker's list, after all. Just my two-cents' worth, Dave -- Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
