of the 3 or 4 linux distros I have experience with, one 1 has not required me to manually add a device driver or two. despite the lack of "prettyness" of freebsd's installer, I find freebsd to be by far quicker and easier to install. I have also found that freebsd's ports are easier to install and maintain that linux's rpms. > to use freebsd. What is the problem that I'm hearing that linux has?

Thanks you aren't really going to get a truly partial answer to that question on this mailing list, I think just about everyone will tell you that freebsd wins in the stability department. but in all my dealings with linux, i never once heard someone say linux was more stable than freebsd :) erik To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
