"Broken and misbehaving" to me means it doesn't do what the man pages say it does, or does so inconsistently, or core dumps semi-regularly. Unfortunately, most software I've used falls into one of those categories... I'm sorta of the opinion that *all* software sucks; *nix just sucks less, and Linux least of those. Debian stable probably sucks the least, but then they certainly do take their time about getting there... ;-) [I don't use debian because the stable release is too outdated and the other two branches have both given me serious problems in the past. Er, well I do run it on my mail server, but mainly because it's already there, and I'm too lazy/busy (take your pick) to change it. Red Hat with updates is usually very stable and reliable, in my experience.] I've also been meaning to check out the *BSDs for years now, and I know many of its fans regard it as much better than Linux. I have some spare parts to build a FreeBSD box with, but I lack a case and an ethernet card for it; when I find a new job I intend to obtain those items and then spend some quality time with either FreeBSD or NetBSD. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
