Hmm, perhaps you and others should train people instead? Offer to pay a student to learn FreeBSD, and to train her / him as developer. I don't know if it is at all possible to fund something like that within the econimcs of a company such as yours, but if it worked, it would bring more developers on board. Just an idea. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
