Hmm .. It just so happens that I have a copy of FreeBSD, a copy of CF4.5E
for Linux, AND a working fridge. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm
looking to set up a new system for a company and want to use some type of
*nix server. Might as well try BSD while I'm at it. Besides, it might be
an interesting weekend project.
By the by, melting ice cream is indeed a sad thing. You have to eat it
faster and then you have none left sooner .. and there's nothing sadder than
not having any ice cream, melted or otherwise.
