FreeBSD 4.3 Released
|

| Great. Need to download a copy and see what bugs I can find! Have you tried the new release yet? | |

| I need another machine! I have not used FreeBSD since the introduction of 4.0, can't wait to test drive it. | |
|
| I just threw together another machine a few weeks ago, I'll try it out on that one and see how it goes. | |

| The latest versions I've tried are 5.0 and 4.2. This would be a long d/l on my dial up connection, so I'll have to bum it off someone. There's no way I'm waiting for till the DSL line's installed before I play with this. | |
|
| I can do the download here at work, and then try burning a CD, no way would I try it over my 56K! The new place where I got a job at uses UNIX big time, so I might try seeing if they are planning to try it out, might not have tobother with the d/l's in that case. | |

| Randy, were you able to break into the networking side of things with this new job? | |
|
| Not exactly. The job is still coding (officially) but involves a good deal of software support as well as development. But I was told that there was a considerable degree of "crossover" between the softies and network techs. Hopefully when they see that I like one better than the other they will alloe me to somehow switch to the more network oriented areas for good, but in the meantime, I will get to use UNIX a good bit more in a work environment and will have to learn Oracle as well, which can't be a bad thing, and since it's at a school, I will get basically unlimited training for free. So even if I don't care for it in the long run, it will give me something other than just COBOL and JCL to put on my resume, and may be worth it just for the training. I've never seriously considered going for MCSE yet, but they offer these courses and encourage their engineers to take advantage of the courses, so maybe that will be something that I can use to break in if the job doesn't work out as I hope. The extra 9, 000 bucks a year also helped me to decide.  | |

| Congrats Randy, that sounds like a good move. | |
|
| Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes. |
