"And it would be much better. A much, much better job. The ideas are old." The above is a quote from a Salon article (http://www.salon.com/tech/fsp/2000/05/16/chapter_2_part_one/index.html), run about a year ago. This one has amused me over the past year several times - is he just blowing steam (I think the article rather politely says he always had a big mouth, and still does), or has he since made some more comments in this direction? The article is quite interesting by the way (that is unless you've been BSD for a long time already). -- -Munish To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
