Man, I'm Posting this right now using links (text based browser found in linux/unix for those who don't know). Man it sucks to try to browse the internet with it. I'm installing FreeBSD on my laptop, and GNOME is compiling right now, so no GUI. Pine and Links. Well, at least it works!!

Yeah, no problem. But I bet that most people here have never used a text-based browser.

You are bragging about having used a text-based browser?

you are 18 - the only reason you ever used a text based browser was by choice - not because you had to - get the fuck over yourself

It's not "Links" it's "Lynx". And are you installing the 6.0 release?

? I'm no english major, but was that supposed to make sense?

I'm not saying I don't agree with you here... I'm just laughing at the thought of you calling him a kid.

groundzero (g0) used to use your account i believe - maybe my memory sucks though - i call anyone under 21 a kid just as a generalization to ppl that can't go to bars

Not to my knowledge about ground zero. Its all relative to be honest. I would be calling him a kid too. But if you do it, then I'm getting old

I'll let my comments stand how they are. I'm guilty of it too, but sometimes I wish tech talk wasn't so elitist.

Anyhow, at least he is using BSD. I can't understand why people want to compile stuff from scratch.

The number of seniors I met in CSC who had no idea what little things like FTP were make me want to cry. Now that I have a job also makes me realize how much of a waste school was (for me).

The majority of geeks use BSD solely so they can feel superior to Linux users. That is pretty sad if you ask me.

Does Linux have the Ports collection? No, so shut the fuck up.
