Congrats! In case you didn't know (which you probably don't, being an ignorant flamebait poster and all), BSDi: employed many talented developers, funded or subsidized various *BSD support events, donated hardware for *.FreeBSD.org, sent numerous volunteer developers to conferences at zero or low cost, and distributed quite a bit of hardware to developers who otherwise wouldn't have proper test environments. Thats just to name a few things... WRS still is doing many of the things that WCCDROM/BSDi did for the project and the ones that they've stopped doing should simply look like a good opportunity to others who want to step up in the community. -- Bill Fumerola / billf@FreeBSD.org ps. even ignoring the improper punctuation, "didnt nothing positive" is improper English, in the future you might want to use a phrase like "did not do anything positive" or "did nothing positive". hope this helps.
