See : Linux vs. FreeBSD thread in this group which has been raging off topic for weeks. It doesn't really mater if you choose linux of freeBSD, but your life will be easier if people you know use the same system. It makes it alot easoer to ask questions with a definite answer instead of "well, in bloggs u*ix you do ..., but in your case I juxt don't know" -- David Pinson dpinson@t-rex.materials.unsw.edu.au School of Materials Science and Engineering University of New South Wales, Australia
