On the other hand, just as Firefox has proven to be sort of a "gateway drug" for people on MS Windows who are encouraged to try something new (and open source) for an OS as well, I suppose Gentoo/BSD might bring more intelligent people who have something valuable to contribute to the world of FreeBSD, with only a brief stop in the land of Gentoo/BSD. I guess time will tell. --=20 Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Paul Graham: "Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts." --adJ1OR3c6QgCpb/j Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkmh96AACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWR7gCeOAm6rSsTmEMjtQPBbnK+ZjY7 Q0UAniYnYdDedAJqcr7LDFWbszSs2l5p =yPTQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --adJ1OR3c6QgCpb/j--
