Hello all! Here's my .02... 1) I love FreeBSD and would like to see donations go directly to the developers for their efforts. I'll always buy Release level CD's because I need the machines in a production environment, but let's face it, there's much more work for the major-commit people than just keeping the -stable and RELEASE trees in order. There should *POSITIVELY* be a way of getting funding to these guys without cdrom grabbing a cut from it. I for one would love to donate to the people doing the work. I'm used to dealing with Sun, where things take forever to get fixed and response from the developers is nil. This is FreeBSD's strength in my opinion and I think most people should be willing to pay for it. 2) Shouldn't the -stable list be about *running* -stable instead of supporting the work for -stable? I know this is a big issue, but I've been getting like 100 messages per day and it's killing me! <g> ======================================================================== || Bruce Walter || CB #7400 McGavran-Greenberg Hall || || Information Technology Support || Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7400 || || Department of Biostatistics || Tel: 919-966-7279 || || University of North Carolina || Fax: 919-966-3804 || ======================================================================== || BSD Unix -- It's not just a job, it's a way of life! || ========================================================================
