Indeed, who was that?  :P

I use PSI <http://psi.affinix.com/> because the interface is consistent
across Linux and Win32 environments.  It's licensed under the GPL v2,
you should be able to compile it for FreeBSD as long as you have the Qt
3.0.5 library (or higher) installed.

If you are a MW member using Jabber, let me know.  My Jabber ID is
tyson at jabber.org  ;)

As an aside, I'd be interested in finding out which is their favourite
Linux distro.  RedHat has a strong presence it the market, but since
they are now using more aggressive strategies to entice users to sign up
(ie: pay) for the RedHat Network, it would be interesting to see why
(if?) people choose RedHat over other distros such as SuSE, Mandrake,
Debian, etc.  I don't want to know about the virtues of other *nix
variants for the moment, I only want thoughts about preferred Linux
distros.  No O/S flame war intended, send your thoughts to me and I'll
collate them and report back with an answer.

Cheers,
Tyson.
