It appears as if Freebsd is definitely the best choice (over other non-Linux Unix Opensource OSes--including OpenBSD and Open Solaris) for a Unicode support. Just tired of what the Linux crowd has been doing with the I/O scheduler and schedulers in the kernel, and Reiserfs support has gotten worse as of late it appears (kernel version 2.6.18 with 'emission' kernel patches). It really lags my system at times -_-.. - -Garrett PS TFC, I know you were having Chinese locale problems earlier--did you try some of the solutions given here-<http://opal.com/freebsd/unicode.html>-by chance? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFg2vkEnKyINQw/HARAh8uAJ41OMKGWl77xZmdJTQm2l33QUhl/QCfTj0R S2GAdrIFHCV6ydLaiI90kTg= =3I/p -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
