Mark is unfortunately right :-( The Daemon is an embarrasment on CD covers, any `professional' image one may ascribe to FreeBSD when talking to companies, by carefuly holding all sequential releases adjacent, & enthusing about regular `professional' release cycle ... is tarnished by the toy-town Daemon. Sorry Daemon, I like you, but I'm not sure the folk who _Hire_ programmers do, it seems a shame to damage the chances of importing FreeBSD from home to work. Perhaps if we moved the Daemon off CD covers (on to coffee mugs ?) .... PPS the `profesional' image projection also isn't helped by the false Jan. 94 stamp on the 2.0 CD (though perhaps I got a pre-release). --- Julian S
