At least someone is thinking of it. There are a lot of PCs out there that are still in perfect working order, but are too slow to run the hugely bloated desktop operating systems (and the "server" versions thereof) that are popular today. Efficient operating systems like UNIX can give these machines new life and purpose and save tremendous resources in the process. Indeed, someone in the Third World without the means to buy a new PC and an expensive Windows license could find a junk PC and install FreeBSD on it for nothing, and be up and running in no time. While UNIX doesn't have the advantages of Windows on the desktop, you can't beat the price, and it'll run on anything. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
