But there isn't anything I want or need to do right now that would not be done better by FreeBSD than by Linux. To paraphrase what some people have said in the past, Linux is an attempt by PC enthusiasts to make UNIX look like a PC, whereas the BSDs are an attempt by UNIX enthusiasts to make a PC look like UNIX. Most of what I'm interested in running right now is intended for a UNIX environment, so FreeBSD is a better tool for the job. The overwhelming concern of the Linux community seems to be to create something that walks and talks just like Windows, but isn't called Windows. I don't see any point in that, since real Windows does a better job if Windows is what one wants. > I am sure IBM, SUN, and plently of other highly profitable companies > would disagree with your assertion, but they are probably wrong too, > hmmm? They are driven by profit motivations, not by a desire to use the right tool for the right job. -- Anthony
