DragonFly DesktopBSD PC-BSD 4.3BSD-Quasijarus ekkoBSD (dead) MidnightBSD (nascent) MicroBSD (once dead, but apparently undead...) emBSD picoBSD nanoBSD The latter three are probably just stripped-down versions of the bigger ones. I think there are even more than these I listed above. The five big ones are DF/Free/Mir/Net/Open though. Daniel Seuffert (from AllBSD.de) today said he intends that your script to be installed AND ENABLED BY DEFAULT in every BSD release/snapshot, and he will definitively enable it in DesktopBSD 2.0. I will probably do the same for MirOS, as I currently don't have a way to even estimate the user base, other than bittorrent downloads, and it does not transmit any data qualifying as 'sensitive', uses almost no resources and is low-bandwidth. (We'll have to add some "jitter" to the execution time, though.) bye, //mirabile -- "Using Lynx is like wearing a really good pair of shades: cuts out the glare and harmful UV (ultra-vanity), and you feel so-o-o COOL." -- Henry Nelson, March 1999
