Really? I'm using it exclusively on the desktop since version 4.0, but okay... well... I'm completely insane. :-) I found that FreeBSD is an excellent multi-purpose OS. It runs well on servers, but on desktops, too, as well as on "mixed forms" (e. g. desktops that provide some server functionality). Of course there are some "problems" getting things to work on FreeBSD especially in the desktop setting, such as ink-pee electrical paper sheet feeders and "Flash" make-the-web-unusable stuff. :-) FreeBSD is strong where other OSes are very week. As a developer, this especially applied to DOCUMENTATION. As far as I experienced, Linux is absolutely worse in this field. Integrity, consistency and well-intended layouts and principles (instead of arbitrary decisions that vary with each release or distribution) are another topic. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
