Life would be a whole lot easier on me if they would just port all of the Netscape servers to BSDI or Linux, then hopefully they'd work with FreeBSD as well. I'm not apt to hauling to MiniComputer Exchange and spending 1500$ on a Sparc 20.. I have the Solaris X86 and the Sparc versions, got them right before V7 came out.. I nuked the box almost instantly, I'll just stick with the FreeBSD one, at least that comes with a copy of CC in the distrib :) --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
