I'd like to ask the meaning of another "free" in the following sentence: When you register, you get a free shell account you can use to log into the wide variety of systems on the Test Drive network and try out the software and operating systems running on them. I think it (free shell account) is also "free beer". However, the original translator seems to think about "free speech", i.e., "a shell account with which you can run anything you like". --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/
