A lot of us are people who are paid to keep servers running, and therefore we use freebsd on servers. If you wish to use freebsd as a desktop OS, we certainly wish you the best of luck at it. If you have some contributions to make to freebsd to make it a better desktop OS, we can probably find someone who will be happy to look at them. By "contributions" I mean "working code changes", and not simply some cheer-leading from the sidelines. One of the rules of an open-source project like freebsd is that the people who are doing the work get to say what the work is that they are going to do. I do use freebsd in a server context, and therefore the changes which I personally work on are bound to be related to the work that I do. It is annoying that you feel some right to insult me for contributing the work that I do contribute, when you are not paying me anything for any work that I do. If you do not care what I think, then why do you fantasize that I care what you think? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
