	Ok. It appears as if Freebsd is definitely the best choice (over
other non-Linux Unix Opensource OSes--including OpenBSD and Open
Solaris) for a Unicode support.

	Just tired of what the Linux crowd has been doing with the I/O
scheduler and schedulers in the kernel, and Reiserfs support has gotten
worse as of late it appears (kernel version 2.6.18 with 'emission'
kernel patches). It really lags my system at times -_-..

PS TFC, I know you were having Chinese locale problems earlier--did you
try some of the solutions given
here-<http://opal.com/freebsd/unicode.html>-by chance?
