BSD sounds too good to be true! I'll try out BSD today if you try out the latest Slackware?
I remember downloading the 17x 1.44 floppies at 1200 baud.. There were no ISP's in Australia those days, we dialled straight into the internet backbone. We had to install our own modem/server at Apana which is still going strong: <http://www.apana.org.au/> Gosh, that was many moons ago..

BSD is enough like Slackware that you will do just fine. When Slackware came out (I remember when it was new and came on a stack of floppy discs) no one knew a lot about Linux and BSD as the model. My experience at that time was with SunOS (before Solaris) and SunOS was basically BSD. Slackware required almost zero learning, just install and go and al my SunOS exprerience was usable BTW I'm typing this on a Fedora system at the office. Not happy with it any more. I think I'm going back to BSD based Mac OS X. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
