I wish anyone the best if they want to embark on the support effort.  But
support is not fun and is sometimes very hard work.  If FreeBSD gets really
big, it could be a very good deal though.  Pure techies usually don't
end up making the $$$ -- it is the businessman/investors.  If Julian can
make a go of it then *super*.  I think that everyone has warned him of
some of the downside problems.

I wish you and ANYONE else the best on such a venture, Julian.
