Ah.... Don't you just love it.  It's great how people can use a legitimate
question about a particular operating system, as a segue, albeit abrupt
one, to tout their personal preference of OS.  I would guess, that just
about any question posed to this computer genius would evoke the same
answer.

Question:  

I can't get Xfree to run right.  What do I do?
>Try running FreeBSD instead of Net.

I don't like the way my monitor looks.  Can someone help?
>Try running FreeBSD instead of Net.

My wife is fingering my neighbor.  Why????
>Try running FreeBSD instead of Net.
