Ah, yes, now I think that we've reached the core of the problem that Brett is having. If I understand him correctly, he wants to be able to leverage off the FreeBSD name. Creating a new distribution with a new name wouldn't allow him to make use of the mindshare behind the FreeBSD project, and might lead to the perception of another schism in the *BSD camp. Isn't there some way that we can come up with a labeling which would explicitly allow the various offshoots of FreeBSD to identify themselves with the project, while making it clear that they are separate efforts? -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
