By that logic, since a wrench can pound nails as well as a hammer, then the hammer should be able to turn bolts as well, and therefore a wrench is a hammer. All you have been saying here in recent weeks (repeated ad nauseum) is that Windows has a better desktop and FreeBSD is a better server. Yes FreeBSD makes a better server, but contrary to your unpopular opinion, most think that FreeBSD makes a better desktop as well. Your problem is that you masquerade around pretending to be an expert while actually knowing nothing (and flatly REFUSING to learn). Many think X11 is better by the simple virtue of variety and configurability of window managers. If you actually read some documents (and the help that has been given to you in response to your incessant whining), your experience with X11 would have been better. I'm sure you'll be coming back with the "religious zealot" argument so save your breath. I am here to voice a more popular opinion - please just shut up until you have something valid to add. freebsd-questions - please pardon this rude outburst. -- Steve Tremblett Cisco Systems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
