Hello to all. I know I'm running the 'Disgusting Operating System', because I'm waiting the new DSL line in an isolated place. After all, America have decided to make Europe as a second world, at the beginning of the last century. I live at the margins of your empire. I live in a city where nobody cares of my interests for the true unix. I have learnt completely alone, with the only help of your books. I'm running FreeBSD for production purposes on a workstation I have built, purchasing all of the components in the U.S. I'll need to clone exactly the same machine on a similar hardware in the next future. The support for the FreeBSD production systems abandones previous releases too fast. The ports and the packages become too fast unavailable. What I like more, is the development towards new hardware architectures, that will make FreeBSD a winning choice. The support for ATA-RAID and SCSI-RAID controllers is simply wonderful. The scientific environment is in Europe often a chaos, many institutes often purchase junk hardware in a total anarchy. It is quite impossible to clone production operating systems at a distance of one year, without having removable disks. - Obviously, I have purchased the best among them, from a californian supplier -. I am convinced FreeBSD is the best unix, because I have carefully evaluated all of its features. I have never felt like breathing oxygen on an operating system before. Once I have written without being too serious, because a little of joke is always healthy. Now I want to describe the reality. Am I perhaps the only fanatic running FreeBSD where I live... I have tried to donate my discs to several institutes or students, they have always been scared of it. It's a common practice to run another well known unix variant. I'll never move from FreeBSD as for my unix operating system, because I can stay close to your evolution, but this is only a very personal situation. I am prepared for my usual dose of 'flames'. With my best regards VITTORI
