I chose Debian for 2 reasons: 1) a Debian user took the time to explain the major differances between FreeBSD and Linux giving the best features of each. He was objective about it, no Holy War discussion. 2) the Debian page wasn't a Windows page. I didn't have to wade through a dozen pages to get what I wanted. It loaded quickly. I didn't have a bunch of little page sections that didn't fit my browser screen. It didn't need a Windows95 browser to be best viewed. The Debian page seemed more interested in giving me usefull information than blasting me with javascripts, animations, and graphics by the ton. That made me feel Debian could stand on it's own; it didn't need all the flash and glitter to make an impression. my $0.02 George I would like to thank M$ and IBM for combining FUD and incompetent marketing to kill the best desktop GUI to date. Hence, forcing me to switch to Linux/*BSD tommorrows ideas today. ---------------------------------------------------- reply to: grimel @icx Sorry for the trouble, I'm just getting to much spam. .net ----------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
