    ...but I won't be happy until I can finally get a 5.x version install CD of FreeBSD to boot on my IBM Thinkpad R50......4.x works fine....well if you don't mind having a few common features missing......sigh

      Me too =0)
      I have used various Linux distros.
      But nothing is as 'clean', simple, and useful as the BSD's

      Try it out!
