    Thanks jim. It's nice to know there are well-supported free operating systems out there other than Linux. FreeBSD's central CVS repository convinced me it is superior, in terms of fragmentation and consistancy, to Linux.

    I formerly managed Linux systems on a daily basis, every day being reminded of simple little things which operating system and distribution designers can't seem to agree on. Like if I should put a space after the l in gcc -lfoo, or not, of if it's not required..ugh..but I disgress.

    FreeBSD is my choice at home, and I'm glad I have it. At least WINE, doscmd, Apache, and other major software projects work on both FreeBSD and Linux, sometimes smoother. Keep up the good work!
