Some people on this list swear they never have to drop to a command line with the cool tools they use with their SLIP accounts (except to change their password). If that's true, then any "advantage" unix has is washed away. How will the unix market grow (relative to other more popular OS's) if internet access tools run the same on Windows and OS/2 and Mac's as they do on unix?

It is true, I swear <g> I am a Mac person. UNIX is pretty far from the Mac OS. Nonetheless, I am about to buy a cheap 486 (any recomendations?) on which I will install FreeBSD to run an Internet server. Once Apple will officially relase their dirt cheap multi-processor servers that run A/UX only, I'll probably buy one of those. Why am I getting a UNIX machine? Because there is nothing out there in world of operating systems that does the job as well as UNIX when it comes to networking. -- Lucky Green <shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
