Over the last lot of years Linux has got 100x better, but back in the good ol' days BSD was where it was at. Further to that, hardware was a bitch on both to support. It was a case of choose your weapon. I moved to Arch Linux because of its BSD like nature.... I guess I just like the way BSD does things.... And Arch rocks. BTW: I have started recently using Arch on Servers as my faith grows in the distribution. > > Thanks, > > DR > Your Welcome -- Dave ------------- root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cranky@xxxxxxxxxxxx
