Thanks for the feedback!
I should probably start another thread, but I've been meaning to ask
too whether there are any BSD fans/advocates on this listerv.
I actually began my adventures in FOSS-world playing with OpenBSD,
and then moved over to FreeBSD for more general purpose stuff. I had
played with Debian once or twice and found configuring the system to
be a mirky process compared to my experience with FreeBSD. Then I
tried Gentoo about two years ago . . . but any FOSS "work" I've
always done has always been accomplished with FreeBSD.
I like Linux though, and am trying to get more cozy with it.
Best regards,
