Hi,

I didn't see this in -chat, however they have shown a lot more public
signs of being linux-aware (with lots of interesting software). Whistle
OTOH, has grown based on FreeBSD and has made constant contributions.

I don't think this will be a Linux vs. BSD confrontation and I doubt
that our well known hackers in Whistle communications will (or can) stop
using FreeBSD, however I don't know enough about IBM to know if they
will add to FreeBSD like Whistle has done.

Only time will tell, I guess...

	Pedro.
