Most of the things I like to know about are 1) applications that are not uniqely BSD: Sendmail configuration, Perl hacking, apache, PHP, what-have-you. 2) Issues that relate to OS design and imple- mentation in general. 3) FreeBSD specific issues that I think are too specialized to attract a sufficiently large audience: Implementation of kernel threads, Writing BSD device drivers etc... Most of these things are adequately covered by various online and print sources. (DaemonNews being my prime source for 3 ). I would like read, and subscribe to, a magazine that covers at least points 2 and 3, especially if it brought some profit to the people doing the actual BSD developement. Where do I sign up ?
