FreeBSD never had to "jettison two thirds of its code base and start from scratch". Apple is not involved in FreeBSD development. No Mac OS X or Darwin version "includes" FreeBSD. FreeBSD and Mac OS X will never merge. FreeBSD was never acquired by WinDriver Systems or by anyone else, although a company named WindRiver Systems (makers of the embedded operating system VxWorks, not of Windows video drivers) did at one point acquire BSDI, which had previously acquired Walnut Creek CD-ROM, which was heavily involved in the early history of both FreeBSD and Slackware Linux. The remains of Walnut Creek CD-ROM and BSDI are now known as FreeBSD Mall and iXsystems (of PC-BSD and FreeNAS fame). DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
