You complain about no commercial vendors not being interested in FreeBSD, and then you give us this horsecrap about "wait 90 days for the big unveiling..." Are you announcing 3.0R availability, in which case we're wasting our time integrating the current release? or will it be integrated in 2.2x? Or will there be a multiple release nightmare? Why dont you tell us so we can plan....you cant market a product using freebsd is you dont know what the damn plan is. Setting up basic marketing takes more than 90 days... Dennis
