Have you seen how far ahead "linux" is though? Fortunately, we get the upper hand back if you search for Linux's "proper name" (according to some) of "GNU/Linux" which is nice. "BSD" is someway behind "GPL" though which in many ways isn't, but the defeat is not as bad as some may have predicted. The win "core" has over "committer" is pretty convincing too which explains a few things. :-) Am I the only person who uses this technique as a spell checker sometimes? For example, when writing an article, I know "CDROM" is preffered for some reason over "CD-ROM" or CD ROM". -- Paul Robinson http://www.iconoplex.co.uk/
