Bah, humbug, you little devil :-) Actually I do keep thinking of trying a BSD of some sort, but never have the time/spare hardware to do it. I've been following Linux since the early 90's (at the time I didn't realise it was new, just an internal IBM forum on installing it on my L40 laptop), and using it since since the mid 90's (I was an OS/2 devotee until I switched), so familiarity is probably the key thing - although I'm trying to learn more about the Mac world having been given a few old ones, and BSD is probably closer to what I'm used to than MacOS (pre-X certainly). -- Paul Tansom: - contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more information Internet and Intranet Solutions -- http://www.aptanet.com/ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
