Interesting. Myself, I went directly from Macintosh to FreeBSD. I like them both. 18 months ago, these were the only two OSes I had ever installed and so I thought painless installs were the norm. But one year ago, I had the misfortune to have to install MICROS~1 Win98 on a computer at work - what a pain in the butt! It was a tremendous harassment, requiring constant babysitting. The installer can't even find its files *on its own CD!* A real piece of work. I really like how FreeBSD - even when installing over a modem - is so little trouble. Get it started and go to bed; in the morning it's done. -- Chris Hill jchill@dgsys.com (place witty saying here) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
