( Rochester, NY for those interested. ) We are still debating whether to make it a FreeBSD users group, or a general BSD users group. I'm wondering if having a *BSD group will result in a users group less focused and hence less capable of addressing members needs and such. Does anyone out there have experience on the FreeBSD vs. *BSD users group issue? Any thoughts are welcome. Personally I don't think being a BSD UG will be causing less-focused meetings. In fact I believe quite the opposite. NetBSD and OpenBSD do certain things for different reasons and it might be beneficial to listen to their point of view and have them listen to FreeBSD's. That way, everyone in general gets more clueful about the whole BSD issue, which can never be bad, no? -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; Network/Security Specialist BSD: Technical excellence at its best There is no greater sorrow than to recall, in misery, the time when we were happy.
