Hmm, I'm on top of a rather large gift for my wife
at ebay...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# mkdir /home/release
# cd /usr/src/release
# make release BUILDNAME=DaleCo-FruitFlyBSD-1.0-RELEASE \
CHROOTDIR=/home/release 
CVSROOT=freebsdanoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs \
RELEASETAG=RELENG_5_3

Now, I think the gift is at $400 ATM, anyone for FruitFly BSD?  Selling 
licenses for
forty bucks ea. in packs of 10 ... :-D
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, it's free, like free {beverage of choice}.  "With malice
toward none and charity for all"* let him go, I say.  FBSD is [arguably]
still the oldest && bestest && best documented && most widely
known/used.

Now I wish I was just in a position to help keep it that way...
An occasional doc patch does not an OS make.... :-(

I do think the guys over at phpbuilder.com will get a kick
out of the extra $31.01 that PHP/Perl/Python are worth.... :-)
