What's wrong? Could you provide a more sensible description of the problem? For example: When I use MC on the console of my FreeBSD machine with TERM=cons25, Ctrl-O swaps panels properly. However, when I ssh from my FreeBSD machine into a Linux host, which uses the completely non-standard TERM=linux, Ctrl-O causes puppies to leap out from my screen and chew my keyboard. > Is linux better (speaking of teminals)? If all you ever use is Linux, then yes, it's fantastic. However, for something to be useful in the UNIX world, interoperability is important. :-) > Please prove me wrong, I want to love FreeBSD, not Linux. And right > now that's not the case :-( If this is the kind of thing that's going to make you love or hate an operating system, you're in for some hard knocks. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
