I'm pretty agnostic about the BSD flavour. The social factor is very important, you should stick with the guys you can happily cooperate with. I met Greg from core once he was in Cologne and he seemed a very experienced guy with a down to earth attitude, thus in Matt's case I trust him. The Huey affair I haven't even noticed yet. :) But anyway, the long term target should be to get ports working for as many BSDs as possible. > I've you want to pick-up the ball I send all the = > stuff over to you.

Guess I have to read to a lot of articles on the site to understand what is going on.
