You will have to learn UNIX. I started running Linux back in Spring, 2000, while I continued running Windows. In about 2003 I started learning FreeBSD because my web host was using that OS. Now, I am hosting my own web/mail server with OpenBSD, and have FreeBSD on a Desktop machine. I still do maintain a Windows 2000 machine for my graphics workstation, and to run my vintage DOS apps. Over the past seven years, I have become considerably less ignorant about computer, operating systems, networks, etc. This is, in my opinion, a very, very, very good thing... but easy??? Nope. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ .
