Referring to Kirk's interview: Excellent article. Here are three questions that ocurred to me as i was reading. 1. What did Kirk mean when he referred to commercial companies 'leveraging off the stuff that is handled' by the bazaar model? How do you leverage off a free OS? 2. Kirk referred to Unix dumping interfaces as they became obsolete. Is he talking about GUI interfaces, or some other type? What type have been dropped over the years? 3. Kirk said Linux is suffering from problems created by 'unbridled growth without thinking about interfaces.' Again, what interfaces are we discussing? And how are they causing a problem? Just some questions for discussion... i thought they fit better here than under 'questions'. -jm ------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
