Hence, why I wanted to donate my equipment to the project. However, I certainly have no reservations to donating the hardware to another *BSD project that can use the hardware. It would be of course secondary to the needs of the FreeBSD team. I'll give the FreeBSD offer a bit more time, until mid next week. Did you have a specific *BSD project in mind for the gear? Do you represent any of those projects? In the event that I offer the gear to another BSD project, is there any knowledge of which project is in greater need of the hardare?
