I dunno, I guess I'll >take a look at the second conference for hints on what will happen. My personal take was that Wind River was interested in BSDi's embedded BSD technology rather than FreeBSD. FreeBSD merely makes it more likely that the BSD technology as a whole will continue to advance. >One thing I do wonder is if FreeBSD will target the embedded and >realtime markets in a near future. It wouldn't be to Wind River's advantage to push a free alternative to its own products. But it can't stop FreeBSD from being suitable for that purpose. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
