Didn't I just answer a question like this from you a few days ago? It really depends what you mean by "leaving us in the dust", if you mean pretty bootup sequences with color checkboxes like so: starting xyz [ OK ] and splash screens with blue progress indicators, along with userland tools that attempt to outsmart you... then we are already "in the dust". Fortunatly we aren't striving to be a pretty MS-Windows replacement so this shouldn't concern you. FreeBSD 4.0 is shaping up to be more than just an overhyped eye catcher, it's truly an amazing daemon. Stick around, it's worth the ride. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
