I whole heartedly agree. The real war is with Windows, and it appears certain now that free Unix is indeed making some serious progress. The fact that we actually have several *superb* choices on the free unix front is nothing less than miraculous. In retrospect, it's pure luxury, and while I'd be sad to see the BSD community not make it up there with Linux in the mainstream, I'd sure as hell be happy as heck to be able to run and develop under Linux as opposed to a M$ "OS". :-) -Mark > > -DG > > David Greenman > Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Mayo mark@vmunix.com RingZero Comp. http://www.vmunix.com/mark finger mark@vmunix.com for my PGP key and GCS code ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "The problem is how do you build tools that understand your programs at a deeper semantic level." - James Gosling To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
