I had another look at BSD.

Yes, lord only knows how you would convince the beagle to boot and root
into that.

Is this the thing the basis of what now runs on Apple Mac's?

What would you use that for?  I would miss the Linux/drivers folder too
much.


Are you stuck indoors as well?  I will be here until June.  I might as well
learn BSD as well.


Cheers

Richard
