Yes, pretty much, although he downplays the hardware support deficit. Maybe xxBSD has made great strides recently, but the last time I tried FreeBSD (a couple of years ago), it couldn't even come close to handling the peripherals on a modern PC. That being said, load time for large packages (OpenOffice comes to mind) was markedly faster than on linux. -- Collins - Denver Area Gentoo stable plus kernel 2.6.1-mm2 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
