Sure would be nice if Linux wasn't in the name. Maybe it's just me, but it'd be nice of some "open" things were actually more "open." What next? RedHatSamba? Samba just isn't good enough... Gotta have the OS name/distribution in there for it to be "cool." Ahh, OpenBIOS... Time to work on a new "port" or version I guess. Something that any OS vendor/user can get behind and implement without being associated with Linux. (Yes, some of us have had very bad encounters with Linux and do anything to avoid it.) -- Mike Hoskins This message is RFC 1855 compliant, mike@adept.org www.adept.org/pub/rfcs/rfc1855.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
