FreeBSD is not intended to be used as a desktop, it is the best option for firewall and Internet service features which do not require extra-packages (or a lot of them) by default. PS: Do you really need to compare windows "HUGE UGLY" and sluggish kernel with FreeBSD's? PS2:The monster has got a name, and it's not really a monster, is a daemon, it's "Chuck" ehehe Sincerely, -- Mário Freitas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Núcleo Português de FreeBSD (NPF)
