Actually, I'd like to see both projects proceed, but apparently what non-core contributers to FreeBSD think doesn't matter. Maybe all of the VOLUNTEER testers for -current should take your advice and go to NetBSD, OpenBSD, Linux, or open-Solaris... Maybe their opinions would be better received. As far as opinions are concerned, you have expressed yours, and I kinda hope it doesn't represent that of the entire core team. Opinions were asked for. Testers were asked for. I'm offering both. I don't think when Julian asked for opinions and testers that he was specifically asking core team members only. Julian, if this is not the case, please speak up, and accept my apology for butting in with my opinion, and my offer to take you up on your call for testers. All I did was write in support of getting some promised 5.0 items into 5.0, even offering to test them! Excuuuuuuse me! Shame on us peons for speaking our opinions! jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor! He's always anal-probing right-wing schizos! _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
