Hahahaha. How long has FreeBSD a working ISAPnP? 5 years? NetBSD adopted
it soon... (Don't know about OpenBSD) Wow. And now the Penguin Toy (C)
(R) (TM).
Yes, I don't like Linux. Ohhh, sh... I see the next OS-war coming. ;-)

At work, where I have to use Linux, I use the Rock-Linux distribution
that requires devfs. works so far. ext3, well never tried. We had
serious problems with reiser, JFS came never beyond simple tests so we
ended with XFS and LVM on the 450GB HW-RAID. (ext3 was not ready for
prime time around that time.) Works.
