Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] good free virus protection for Win XP?

Sure so you strip off all the fancy stuff and you are left with BSD. 

So let me get that straight. I pay more for the equipment than I would

could pay less money on the equipment by buying an Intel type machine
and install free BSD on it and be ahead of the game.
