If you are serious about this, sign up as a debian developer (i.e., debian-devel-request@lists.debian.org, debian-mentors-request@lists.debian.org, and debian-user-request@lists.debian.org). The freebsd list maintainers are going to ban me if this debate continues on the questions@freebsd.org list. If people are genuinely interested in this, sign-up at the above lists quickly and we can find out who at debian.org is working on this, and volunteer to help! -- _ NatePuri ("natedawg") o m p a g e s . c o m Certified Law Student p e r c r v t i o f i McGeorge School of Law e d i c a e a n m n Sacramento, CA n i v e t r y m d publisher@ompages.com a a s e y s t u s n8fs0n@softcom.net t s d o h n http://www.ompages.com e n i i UIN: 43371366 e s t y To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
