As a packaged, commercial O/S, these packages are good. I still like FreeBSD installation better. The rest is pretty much the same to me. Kernel-wise, I think i trust FreeBSD kernel better than Linux, although performance is, well, six of this, half a dozen of the other; Both are tuned very well. The Alpha bit; I am, professionally, very interested in this. Contact me privately if you want to help. --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
