Hi.

In my opinion, FreeBSD will remain the most orthodox unix ever, but used =
only=20
by an =E9lite of perfectionists. I am proud and happy to loose my mind in=
to=20
Amnesiac: I know behind it there is the work of the very best unix hands.=
=20
What others do, it's none of our business.

Live free - and perfectionist - or die
