By the way, are you guys aware that several of the pages at www.freebsd.org violate the "UNIX" trademark of The Open Group? (See http://www.UNIX-systems.org/what_is_unix.html and in particular http://www.UNIX-systems.org/tmug2.pdf) FreeBSD is certainly meant to "replace the game" of Solaris, Digital UNIX, AIX, etc...
