You have some options: 1. Investigate EVERY avenue at your disposal (including your hardware) 2. PAY for FreeBSD support (Yes, you can do that) 3. Go back to WindowsNT - and leave us alone. Remember, we're here to help each other out when we can - not insult everyone, not bitch and moan when you can't have your way, not throw tantrums when others wish for you be forthcoming and do your part to determine the issues (again, even considering your hardware etc.) And certainly not argue the points of one OS over another. I imagine that once you do all of the above - the folks here may think differantly of you. However, if that's of no issue to you, and all you want to do is feed negitive vibes here, I'm sure many of us can assit you in the removal of you from the list. Best regards and warm hugs Chris
