Stupid in what way, Han? In an insulting way, or in a poor translation from your native language? I'll assume you're not a jerk and respond politely. If I'm wrong, will you let me know? >From what I've seen of the BSD's, the userland tools are very similar to those in Linux. Linux seems to have have more robust GUI tools; the BSD's seems to have more robust console newtowrking tools, but overall very similar. The big difference must be in the kernels. Since the rest of the two OS's are more or less comparable, are there significant advantages in the BSD kernel? It may seem so, since Debian is at work adapting their packages to work with the BSD kernel, but is it really worth the effort. And, to finally be on-topic, would Mandrake do well to examine the BSD kernel as well? Hoyt
