However, because nobody cares, we won't discuss : it this time either. : Andy Andy, I did receive some pointers from people who have been very helpful by telling me where to find additional information on the various flavors of BSD's. After looking at the assorted FAQ's, documents files and source code I can now begin to understand the difference in goals, philosophy and "raison d'etre" if you will , to quote from a FAQ, of the different threads of development.The system selected from the information gathered will be, not because it is the best, but simply because it suits the task at hand. While I can certainly appreciate your attempt at humor in the above quoted response to my query, I am reminded that there is indeed a very fine line between cleverness and stupidity.
