Thank you. Although I have always felt there are better systems for 
Administrative purposes, FreeBSD is a rock solid performer.  I'm a Mac 
user/Fan as well and since a lot of it's core was built on FreeBSD, goes 
to show how great it is. Thanks to all of you who were at least 
constructive and supportive and found some value in my story.

Best Regards,
