Re: Linux boxes.



Hey!
  After all this flaming war and disscutions about
length of your signature I'd advise you also to
try FreeBSD.
  I know it is a Linux mailing list but....
I tried Slackware, RedHat and FreeBSD.
  Why Linux - all the regular reason - popularity, availibility etc..
  Why FreeBSD - I find it more serios. They work harder to make a 
release which they do "only" twice a year. It is real Unix and not 
a "Unix clone". blah blah. Try http://www.freebsd.org/ for more info
It's nice - try it.
