If freeBSD is so great why won't natural selection begin and let some of these Unix flavors die? Really, wouldn't it be a better world if we had just a couple open source OS? I've been doing some background reading and correct me if I'm wrong. But I came across of at least 30 active different open source and commercial Unix flavors (and I'm sure that's a drop in the bucket)? And my last comment is about the commercial Unix flavors. If they cost so much - are they more bug free, better support, more people working on it. $12, 000 for a licence is alot of money. Well, I just like to say that I think FreeBSD is great. My first real unix experience and I couldn't have done it without the support of the FreeBSD lists and free tutorials. Grant Cooper, Thanks freeBSD for the help.
