Long live FreeBSD! Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG heh, having read over the responses of the people "in the know" (and I've only known about this for a month or two and only by guessing ;)) I think this is very beneficial. Jordan, as always has thought about everything, contingency plans, and has made it very clear that the aquisition of WCCDROM is not one of FreeBSD as well. However the FreeBSD team benefits from having several key BSD developers whom we all look up to getting involved. I already have seen posts from Sam Leffler, Kirk has been involved for a while with FreeBSD and I know for a fact this is a vote of confidence on his part about the business viability of FreeBSD as well as its technical merits. I think this is an exciting period in FreeBSD's development, I personally am very excited. if FreeBSD is dead, Long live FreeBSD. -Pat __ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net lynch@bsdunix.net lynch@unix.sh lynch@blowfi.sh Systems Administrator Rush Networking To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
