That's another thing, the community here is really learned as well as really helpful. While I am new I have not run into the elitist snobs that often occupy the Linux groups. I was having issues with GDM after doing a fresh install and CVSUPing the latest port tree. I posted something to the -Gnome group and found some one was having a similar problem. In a couple days there was an update to the GDM2 port tree while had a fixed make file and a patch. Get that kind of instant gratification from M$? Nope. Get the ability to practice and learn an OS that is or like the OSes used on many servers with M$? Nope... w00t to FreeBSD -B (I've noticed that the -Newbies group might as well be part of the -Advocacy list :P) RexFelis wrote: >>Glad to hear about your success!! >> >> > >This is really a self-esteem building operating >system.
