But as Micro$hit knows, being able to check off feature boxes is important. Here, the CS dept encourages people that own a PC to install a Unix at home (we are still 100% Unix based for classes). When I push FreeBSD, I get asked if EGCS comes with it. I say no not by default, but we have a very easy to add version of it. They say, why go through the trouble if Linux already has it by default. Same for our support people. They are the laziest and most non-computer enthusiast group I've ever seen. Path of least effort is what wins with them. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
