Yes because he might have info/advise for corporations which you or me dont' have. No is because he gets 10000 eMails a day (or is it more Jordan?) and might miss the mail from Oracle saying "what do we need to port?". You have to remember - FreeBSD is as much your OS as it is his. YOU can and should promote it. Don't be afraid to talk to corporations, ISPs, users, etc. Maybe you can answer their questions. Maybe they will like your attitude and decide to do something with/for FreeBSD. If you can't answer their questions or concerns, ask here and people on this list might help. I think what it comes down to is: "I want FreeBSD to have a driver for our Gigabit network card. Can you tell me who I talk to or put me in touch with the right people?" The above would be a "yes" I guess. "I just got FreeBSD and I need to know if it runs in DOS or do I need to upgrade to Windows?" This would be a "no" :) But I have a feeling you already knew this. -- Yan I don't have the password .... + Jan Koum But the path is chainlinked .. | Spelled Jan, pronounced Yan. There.
