Thanks, I suspected as much after searching the FreeBSD lists and 
looking for info on the net. We can always build what little we need on 
Solaris, I just prefer to use FreeBSD when I can. These are not fancy 
servers and they will not be doing anything other than basic AV scanning 
and pumping mail out the door for our network clients.

I appreciate the response.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
