I just can't really justify 'shaddup' since I know that, at some point, I will start going on and on and on... about some irrelevancy, and I don't enjoy shaddup's directed at me any more than Terry. Of course this thread has gone on a little too long; so, probably, have many others. Irrelevancies are what email was originally designed for, I'm convinced. Of course, this thread HAS yielded some rather interesting material for my BSD vs Linux page (http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd/bsdvlin.htm). If anyone think's I've missed some important point/mail, send it to me w/ an idea of where in the sequence (if it matters) you think it should go, and I'll stick it in there. Now, after my little commercial blurb, I'll return you to your regularly scheduled program... ;) *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* |FreeBSD is good.
