Please guys (the anti Penguin lobby), relax. I've been making my bread and butter out of Linux for the last 3 years. And I am a Sun Certified System Administrator. Still I've chosen my work field to be Linux. Why? Because I am in love with the penguin. As for me I haven't found anything that's drastically wrong as it always happens with Winblows. On the contrary there are revolutionary changes in 2.4 series kernels. One that has made my life a lot easier is certianly netfilter/iptables. And as for the libc problem, a little caution always saved my from big hassles. I am sort of a newbie to FreeBSD. But one thing I dislike about it is ipfw. Its so complicated. In contrast iptables in Linux is a pleasure to use. Apart from that upgrading Linux kernel is an easy task. I always patch my kernel with the latest updates and then I compile it. It runs like a dream. And believe me, I haven't faced a single problem in the last three years. But one thing I always avoid is rpm's. You might call me an old timer but I've my faith on the sources. And the configure/make/make install/ has always given me what I wanted. And to say nothing of the device recognition capabilities of the Linux kernel. I thank my lucky stars again and again that I don't have to bother about the HCL, thanks to Linux. So I think the Penguin is doing a great job. And under no circumstances it is inferior to the daemon. I want to conclude with the slogan ..."In Penguin I trust". rgds, Sanjay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
