The most obvious way to do this, IMO, is to make FreeBSD more accessiblle for use in commercial ventures, be it embedded systems or as a backdrop for commercial software using it as a platform on which some company puts their own face forward. This means making it substantially easier to do things like building distributions with custom kernels, greatly simplified "default installation" type things, etc.. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
