It is just a question I asked other people in the past and the answer was how I had given it in my previous email. And I think focusing makes sense, you cannot be a great desktop OS and a great server OS at the same time. You can go a long way, but it ends somewhere. Just look at how FreeBSD is designed, it is, for a desktop OS, overengineered. For a server OS it was very good and just keeps getting better. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|freebsd.org|xmach.org] Documentation nutter/C-rated Coder, finger asmodai@ninth-circle.dnsalias.net http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/ Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness...
