So am I. So is Adam and Stuart and Denny. And anyone else who wants FreeBSD to do something it doesn't. If you've lurked this list for a while, or know of The BSDs' history, you know that it is what is because of a largely volunteered effort. You don't have to be a coder, either. See http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/01/17/Big_Scary_Daemons.html (I'm that Dave, by the way :-) ). If you are new to The BSDs, search Google with something like "csrg freebsd history". I can't put my fingers on it, but there is a very good article, from the CSRG to the present, out there somewhere. Get involved, or otherwise, sit back and enjoy the ride. It'll only get better. I don't mean to be rude, or tell you what you already know, but that is where it's at, ya know? My bad. Let's get back to the charter of this list, shall we? Dave -- Windows: "Where do you want to go today?" Linux: "Where do you want to go tomorrow?" FreeBSD: "Are you guys coming, or what?"
