Really? Hmm.. I never knew that Apache is developed for BSD. I thought 
it was developed for *nix and Windows... distributed as C source so it 
could be compiled on your platform as needed. I don't recall ever seeing 
a specific "BSD version' of Apache, other than the fact that I've 
compiled the source or installed the port, which essentially just 
compiles the source as well. What am I missing here?

The point I've been trying to make (and not many are getting yet) is the 
simple fact that if I go to, say, Oracle's website... they're developing 
in Linux. Specifically RedHat Enterprise. Not BSD of any flavor.  
Veritas--Netware and Windows (shudder).  Legato--Windows and various 
Linuxes. Who is developing for BSD? Why aren't more doing so? What can 
we do to get them to?

Thanks,
Glenn
