Hello, I simply said, and will repeat it again, all this yak about FreeBSD should be for FREE on cdroms is a bunch of BULLSHIT. Who ever reads this, do yourself a favor, go buy CDROM.COM and start burning and tell the world "HEY WE BURN FOR FREE!!" When you're done your dance, send me your bank account balance. I will reconcile it for you. I don't give too hoots for people that just want all the good and hard labour the the people at FreeBSD put in and to get what out of it? If anything, FreeBSD should cost at least and not a pennie less than Red Hat. I wonder if Microsoft after the ruling will start to compete with Sun's Free StarOffice? On the other hand, I wonder how JKH and company (figuratively speaking) will pay for programmers, support staff and the rest when some companies start marketing FreeBSD as the operating system of choice if they don't make profits? If you figure out how, by all means, please let me know. Lanny On 27-Feb-00 Jordan K.
