I personally have a hard time thinking about going back to using/buying/supporting FreeBSD mall. I am aware of all Walnut Creek has done for FreeBSD, but I have a bad taste in my mounth about how things went with the sale of Walnut Creek's assets previously. Perhaps the economics forced(?) Walnut Creek to sell. I don't know whether the sell to BSDI was because of money or seen as an "estratigic" alliance. On the other hand I see Daemonnews as a company that is trying to stay "true" to it's roots. I foresee doing all my BSD purchases from them. I also disliked some comments I read from "Bob Bruce" saying that Daemonews "jumped the gun" when they created their mall. As I see it there was a moment where the status of the "FreeBSD Assets" were in the air, Wind River didn't seem to care, and Daemonews filled in a need in the market. What could be wrong with that?
