Thanks to the core members especially. Amen to this and the rest of your posting! I agree totally with you. I'm a system administrator for about 10 years now: Started with SunOS, picked up IRIX, Ultrix, HP/UX, Linux and OSF/1 on the way and finally got to Solaris (I cried for many days when I realized that SUN _really_ converted to SysV). While HP/UX and especially OSF/1 (YUCK!) are truly bad systems from a sw-development point of view I learned to live with Solaris and Linux (btw: anyone here got gdb to work on a Ultra2 ??). Then some years ago I discovered FreeBSD and installed it immediately on a spare PC (superseeding a Linux 0.95 installation). And I loved it! The finest system since the demise of SunOS. And that was only 1.1.* ... Now it's even better! Here at my workplace I'd _really_ like to switch the Ultra1 on my desk (Solaris 2.5) with the Pentium-Pro (FreeBSD 2.2.1) in the laboatory but my boss won't let me ... > Thank you for a great product and a great community. Seconded! -Walter -- Walter Hafner_____________________________ hafner@forwiss.tu-muenchen.de *CLICK* The best observation I can make is that the BSD Daemon logo is _much_ cooler than that Penguin :-) (Donald Whiteside)
