FSL is run by Paul Richards, who is also paul@freebsd.org. Paul is one of the people from "the beginning" of FreeBSD, back in the 386BSD days, and he continues to commit code. The other director is Brian Somers. That's the same Brian Somers as brian@freebsd.org, responsible for the (re)write of userland PPP in FreeBSD, and the continued implementation of new features in FreeBSD (and OpenBSD's) PPP. > So either they've done their homework, or they're looking for a > rumble.

Just ask *anyone* in Europe who has had to wait months for their CD subscription to arrive, and then paid heavy import tax when it does. =20 > Are DVD-ROM robust enough for everyday use? Yes. FWIW, I helped someone at Usenix remove Linux from their Compaq laptop and install FreeBSD from the DVD which I had to hand (which, incidentally, are bootable).
