Hi,
I make decisions about hardware and software for those who work with me.
Talking with my second in command this morning, we reached a quandary.
Ron is completely pro-Linux and pro-Windows, and against FreeBSD.
What is odd about this is that he's the biggest UNIX fanatic I know,

networking. Specifically, the kernel routing table. In OpenBSD, it is possible
to have multiple routes to the same destination, and are differentiated by
priority. This capability does not exist in FreeBSD.
Let me just ge
Hi Chris,
If you are transferring data from a Windows machine, your best bet would be
to use SAMBA. Windows communicates with samba pretty easily. You essentially
just mount a network drive, and transfer the files you want.
