I appreciate your help CO> BTW, BSDI is a commercial variant of BSD, so you may want to compare CO> NetBSD and FreeBSD to Linux. NetBSD is designed to run on many platforms My criteria for choosing BSDI's system over any of the free systems was that there is sombody responsible for it working. I run a production environment, and need someone there who can solve my problems. Not "ask around and hope someone can solve it", I need "solve it". The BSDI folks have come through in the past, and I'm sure they will in the future. But Vedat can test BSDI out for free, since Duke has a site license for version 2.0 of BSD/OS. It is definitely worth trying. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
