Done, you win. Unconditionally! I've only been *nix'ing (?) for a few years. I first *saw* a Unix server in 1994..and that was a BSD oddly enough. IIRC I *think* it was BSDI. I thought it was some form of black magic. I had no contact whatsoever from an admin point of view for a number of years, except as a shell account user which was handy enough to learn the basics (and become addicted to shell). Then around '99 I started periodically installing some Linux or BSD version on a Frankenputer occasionally to see what was what. I got serious about BSD in 2003 when a colleague installed it on a shared datacenter based server. Then recently I installed 5.3 at home and that's it...I'm hooked...there's no going back now :) Regards, -Colin -- Colin J.
