FreeBSD is created and developed by volunteers rather than paid staff. To get a job in BSD development, you would have to get a job in a company that is using FreeBSD (or one of the other BSDs) and that, for their own reasons, chooses to have some staff working on BSD things - probably that run on top of BSD. You could also volunteer to do development, but you would not get paid for it from FreeBSD - no one does. To do this, look at the various projects and or the bug (pr) list and do a good job writing the needed code or correction and submit it. If it gets used and you do this often enough you might end up being a committer. As for testing, just download the latest CURRENT and update to the latest with cvsup and you will be running (and thus testing) the latest BSD. Check out information from the FreeBSD web page - follow the appropriate links. ////jerry > > Thanks > Ricardo Balda > _______________________________________________
