You know, you just got me an idea for a website: Extreme Benchmarks ;) We'll, cut the power, set it on fire, throw it out the window and see which machines recover and perform best under the circumstances. lol ;)
P.S.: Just joking, but it could be a good TV show.... As for the real topic of this thread, seems like no real conclusion. Everyone has their loved FS and this discussion got nowhere really fast. So, my final sugestion on this, get one of those RPG dices, with 20 faces, make a table with all the 20 major FSes and whatever the dice lands on, install it. I think you're better off that way. As a professor of mine used to say, make a decision, it is the right or the wrong decision, only time will tell. Not making a decision that is the real big mistake. So pick any fs, and learn it is problems (googleit) and be prepared for them. That is the best you can do. 2005/4/19, Jerry McBride <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Monday 18 April 2005 01:34 pm, A.
