People can say any OS is 'tuned' out of the box, but TUNED FOR WHAT? One of the best things about BSD (or Unix in general, etc.) is the configurability, tunability, tweakability. Far, far too much has been lost over the years in an OS like Windows in the name of simplicity, or "User Friendliness", that the OS becomes virtually useless to those who know what they are doing. Sure you can stick any cloned bag of cells in front of the machine, and they can probably make it go, but make it do what you really WANT? Good luck. :) Later...... <Doug> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
