I have just borrowed a brand new Pentium 4 3.6 GHz machine from the office, intending to use it as an open source demonstration machine. To my surprise, it has no IDE disk, only a SATA drive, which I have not used before personally. Fedora Core 1 and Suse Enterprise Server completely failed to install, complaining about "no disk drive". FreeBSD 5.3 installed perfectly, and runs like the wind! Hats off again to the FreeBSD team. ___________________________________________ Woo Hoo! And I second that; FBSD's a great thing, even if the mascot looks evil sometimes... <heh! j/k ... > Wonder if you should have cross-posted this to advocacy@? Not too late to forward it, if you want to .... Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. Thanks for the suggestion, Kevin - here it is. And I like the mascot, although I don't think I would dare wear my FreeBSD T-shirt in the red states!
