How did people find out about this? > What other juicy bits of info are we newbies missing out on? :-) I thought I posted a URL on this. (Buti t wouldn't be the first time that my brain has returned an 'Error 404'.) Oh well, here goes: http://www.freebsd.org/~jkh/xcontest/ Actually, when I said "we", I meant FreeBSD as a whole. I am not actually involved in this -- the people involved are Jordan, Gilad Rom, and Philip Salzman. But it can definitely be agreed on that this thing can only stand to benefit The FreeBSD Project and its users! --- Donald Burr <dburr@POBoxes.com> - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
