Politics, different points of views, big egos...(one, some or all of those) The same goes for why OpenBSD came to be and why there are still 3 BSDs. What I never understood is why "officially" they don't coperate more with each other. I believe that unoficially some of the developers work/help/contribute to more than one of the BSDs. Does anyone know what ever happened to the push for an unified port system? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
