The only thing I This seems like a reasonable request. Outward communications can go a long way towards quelling FUD among the FreeBSD faithful. I do NOT believe, however, that democracy is a requirement for successful -core operation. Discussions regarding kernel scalability are probably a good thing. I would love to be able to say that my OS of preference is the leader of the pack in terms of SMP scalability, performance and stability, and moreover feel confident that we are on the road to attaining this. Personalities aside, FreeBSD is bigger than any one of us. Cheers, Rob. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Robert S. Sciuk 1032 Howard Rd.
