Okay Eddy, obviously I've got a lot to learn. I'd love to keep picking your brains on this; for example, any ideas where to get a good reference book, or what terms to type in when I search the web? Is it time to take this conversation offlist, or are other readers interested in it as well? > Remember, too, that JunOS is based on FreeBSD.

There's more to life than Linux. I'm a tool user as well, but I'm constrained by current knowledge, if I don't know where to search to learn. Learning is a pain at my advanced age <smile>. I've just decided to leave BSDi OS behind after about six years. Got two boxes never installed, ready to trash 'em if no one on the BSDi mailing list writes me and wants 'em. If you want to see a company destroy an operating system, see what WindRiver did when they bought BSDi. Compared to them, Sun Cobalt are amateurs. > > on it. As to the corporate culture?

No big deal... while I thought I'd remembered you as "Eddy", I had to scroll down to make sure, when I started answering this post... I didn't want to call you "E.B."; it sounds too formal for a forum <smile>.
