Hi! Well I solved my odd networking problem. It was just a matter of rebooting to bring the network up. That was kind of dumb. Anyway, I really like FreeBSD. I backed up all my linux files, trashed linux, and now just run Windows and FreeBSD. Personally, I think FreeBSD is of better qulity than my linux distribution, but that is a matter of opinion. One question I did have was this... I have noticed that programs origionally intended to run on Linux, seem to run faster on FreeBSD under the "Linux Binary Compatibility" thing. Why is this? Also, the Open Group, who licenses UNIX, says that both Linux and FreeBSD are not UNIX or something to that effect. The reason for my interest in Linux and FreeBSD was that I needed some Unix experience for an undergraduate capstone I'm doing in college. How close does FreeBSD come to actually being Unix, barring any license? I know Linux is just a "look alike" or "clone". but what about FreeBSD?
