Re: Linux... OK but definitely second best

Today I told a local guy from Silver City, NM to convert his ISP from NT to
BSD because it is better for Internet providing than Linux. I also
recommended that he check out lariat.org for great community based info on
the subject. I'll point him to YMMV when I see him next.

Thanks for your timely advice in these matters,
