For some of these uses of FreeBSD - I really have to wonder if GNU/kFreeBSD (Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is a port that consists of GNU userland using the GNU C library on top of FreeBSD's kernel) isn't a better choice. http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/ One can keep their kernel changes private IP without worry. I doubt most companies would claim they have IP that needs protecting in their GNU userland changes. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
