Hi All, > * I believe that the current Pico kit needs to be thrown out and replaced > with something entirely new. Personaly I think all the small bsd variants should be consolidated into one small bsd version. I have seen a lot of people now on this list that either have build their own, or modified pico/tiny bsd. And I think this energy can kick a lot more a** if we put everything together in a way that most of the us can get out of it what they want. A good router,cable,dialup,terminal,bridge version. Something you can not get in the linux world either. Which is one of the things about linux, that everybody starts their own distribution just because they think they can do a better job. > * Having made my own "Tiny" variant, I believe that I have a darn good > candidate for 'something entirely new'. :) :)) > * I think that a small BSD kit should be general-purpose enough to do > multidisk distros, CD-ROM distros, etc. -- pretty much anything you might > want in a small FreeBSD.

I wouldn't mind hosting that domain, my own servers are co-located at an ISP in the Netherlands which is connected with a 34MB conenction to the dutch internet exchange. But I think the maintance should be a more then 1 persons job, altough if the documentation that comes with every release is updates, then it shouldn'ty be a problem ;) > How does everyone feel about all that? All for it... Maybe there could be a democratic vote somewhere, where people can add them to a list of possible candidates to become the leader of this bunch ;) And the rest of the list can go there and vote... or is this to democratic? ;)) Mischa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
