Thank you ... I was beginning to wonder if I was alone in that feeling. If you're setting up a server and you know exactly what you want, OpenBSD is perfectly dreamy. Easiest install of any OS I've done. Now, on the other hand, if you really want to impress your friends, make it coexist peacefully in a 3-way multi-boot with Red Hat and a Microsoft OS on a laptop. That'll put hair on your chest. :^) I quickly learned to print out extra copies of disklabel's output once I got it right! - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPE2zW79BpdPKTBGtEQJrgACgkWIGoyUC1glLWTxxvz6upIFxGiAAoMLK ItukmuHw+viIrxMWF4647lx4 =/2SQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
