Ah, but anything even remotely similar to UNIX would have been superior to MS-DOS, so that move would make perfect sense. The situation is different today. At times that I've only had one computer, it has always been a MS-DOS (in the olde days) or Windows computer. I was tempted to try OS/2 once, but OS/2 wasn't around long enough for me to change my mind, and it wasn't free. I recall using CP/M very briefly, long ago. I like FreeBSD because it gives me something nice to run as a server. Windows is too expensive and too bloated for server use. My oldest machine does indeed run Windows NT Server 4.0 (as a PDC, no less), but I never actually used it in a server capacity--I was just trying to foresee the unforeseeable. By the time I actually needed a server of my own, I had discovered FreeBSD. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
