So I am here sitting wondering what's the real scoop with the project and can we say definitely that this project is independant of corporate sponsorship? What about the fired workers are they still willing to work for the project? And people like Jordan etc. are they still actively involved or is the project being gradually deserted? What has Linux have that we don't? Hell, If I had even half the talent of some of you guys I'd be more than willing to give up my free time to this cause, but right now I don't feel that I have enough to contribute. So please what's going on with my favourite OS? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
