Honestly though Jeff - You sound like an experienced user, at the risk of starting the war again, It really boils down to a lot of personal preference. We use freebsd because we like freebsd, we like the communitiy, etc, etc, etc. My choice boils down to 2 things. /usr/ports/.../... # make install and /usr/src # make world(ish) From the server standpoint, if you know what your doing, given enough time, you can do pretty much anything you could want to with either. ~jon -- "Yesterday upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there, he wasn't there again today, oh how i wish he'd go away" Jonathan T.
