With the new push for more embedded systems using FreeBSD a few of us thought it would be a good idea to create a new list that more clearly indicated "embedded" uses. Now, of course all the people who've read and posted on freebsd-small for years may think, "Why bother creating a new list?" The reason is as simple as it may be annoying, "Marketing." When people search for FreeBSD on Embedded platforms they are unlikely to type "small" into their search. It's very important for us to get our information out there and having an embedded mailing list called "embedded" is an important part of that. So, to all of you already on freebsd-small I apologize and ask anyone who is interested in the Embedded work to subscribe to freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org. I'll be moving the pointers on the embeddedfreebsd.org site to point to the archives of both small and embedded but will only point to subscriptions for embedded. Thanks, and again, apologies, George
