Our Prince George office used FreeBSD and LiNUX all the time and they (I)
think it is great. Here's the catch, I have no time working two jobs, plug
doing renovations on the house plus try to have any sort of a family life.
I think you can see where this is leading too... I'm going to stick to what
I can deal with and if someone else wants to make Gerry a LiNUX box, please
send me your address!
