Sorry I answer this mail until nowj.
I don't agree about saying that FreeBSD is better than Linux, first of all
I have to make clear that I am not a "bigot" , I am a Zealot, and because
of that I accept that in some aspects FreeBSD can be better than LINUX,
but I don't think that FreeBSD is better.
Another thing, when you say Golden Boy I wonder if you have seen the
anime-manga called "Golden Boy" if not I recommend you to watch it before
you ever mention that before.
I write this not to start a discussion but just to give another point of
view to this.
Bye.
