OS to replace FreeBSD

[Paul]

Jerry you are projecting and being inherently offensive. All the insults you have put towards me are a deflection of yourself. 

Freebsd is incorporated into the largest systems out there and is of the most reputed and highest quality computer operating systems in existence in the world. Your comments that negate our efforts whether it is myself, my compatriots , members of the Computer Society or BSD community. We are trying to help you and you insult us. We don’t accept your insults but we simply respond by trying to help you. It seems you are destined to get lost but I ask that you refrain from trying to take us down with you. Thank you for your understanding. I don’t use Dell Computers, it’s against our companies policy. I have to build the computers with components. You should be able to take it up with Dell but it sounds like they want you to invest more money to get the SLA that supports the use of your intentions. For example they would sell you a computer specific to server purposes, etc.. My company allows LeNovo ie. for laptops, etc.. Nevertheless there is a compatibility of components list. Freebsd does not work on assembled systems compatibility but on a component basis. If you want to determine what is compatible with your system talk to Dell and ask them to give you a factory installation or restore for the opera system that they intended to be used with your system. Solves the problem right there. And take your insults with you.
