Hello everybdody I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interview Linus mentioned the following: "On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things." I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very valid point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different directions. My question is this: Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version? At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounded BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version that is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good Destop solution (FreeBSD).
