Actually, I hate Windoze ME as a desktop OS. It has poor performance all around, and on top of that, there are no virtual desktops. FreeBSD has better performance, and your choice of desktop, which all pretty much include multiple workspaces. (How can a desktop OS survive w/out multiple workspaces?) Terrible filesystem performance, fragmentation issues, constant swapping, horrendous multi-tasking. I have none of these problems with FreeBSD. In fact, I do work as a WinDOS developer, and I use Winelib & winemaker to build my Doze projects on FreeBSD. (I have to do this until I can find work as a unix/X11 programmer.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!
