Hi, i just wanted to tell my OWN opinion. This opinion shouldn't start a flame ware ;-) i just don't see any purpose for these stuff (forums, ...) at least for now and we shouldn't compare any bsd with linux since linux is more dedicated for users while i think bsd is more for developers and system/network administrators an exception is freebsd which follows a path like that linux follows. Sorry it's just my personal opinion. Maslan, -- I'm Searching For Perfection, So Even If U Need Portability U've To Use Assembly ;-) http://www.maslanlab.org
