I need to clarify an apparent misunderstanding here .... our colleague lalala@globalserve.net seems to believe I started this thread, when in fact I was merely responding to the guy who posted the question in the first place. Be that as it may ..... I can sympathize to some extent with the guy trying to figure how to do things in FreeBSD, since for anyone from a Win9x background the move to any *nix tends to be traumatic. My personal experience with FreeBSD has not been excessively bad, but then I messed around with linuxes for months getting nowhere fast. Whilst the BSD docs are infinitely better than the linux equivalents they still represent a culture shock to those of us with experience in other operating systems .... a fact that is all to often overlooked by some unix experts. One major difference I have noticed with the FreeBSD mailing lists is that the majority of (but not all ) contributors are much more openminded as to the relative advantages of other operating systems (eg the usability issue) than certain of their more fanatic linux brethren who tend to view Linus Torvalds as some sort of major deity and Bill Gates as the Antichrist. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Smc659@aol.com> To: <lalala@globalserve.net> Cc: <newbies@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Friday, September 17, 1999 7:19 AM Subject: Re: it just goes on and on....... > I think the solution would be to use winNT...
