Although "freebsd-user-friendly@freebsd.org" implies FreeBSD is currently unfriendly, which IMHO is decidedly not the case. So as we're talking about making it easier to run FreeBSD on the desktop, I think "freebsd-desktop@freebsd.org" would be a better idea. -- TTFN, FNORD Peter McGarvey Freelance FreeBSD Hacker (will work for bandwidth)
