YMMV, of course. It may be steep at first, I've heard some people say it's vertical, but after using it for a few months you should pick things up fairly quickly. I've been using FreeBSD for about 5 months, so I'd still consider myself a newbie compared with others here, and I still learn new things all the time. But I don't find much of it difficult, and that's the important bit. > 2. Will there be any compatibility problems integrating a FreeBSD machine > into a Win'95 peer-to-peer network? Probably, considering win95 isn't even compatible with itself. -- Ben Smithurst : ben@scientia.demon.co.uk : http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ PGP: 0x99392F7D - 3D 89 87 42 CE CA 93 4C 68 32 0E D5 36 05 3D 16 http://www.scientia.demon.co.uk/ben/pgp-key.html (or use keyservers) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
