I recently noticed that Apple's new OS, Leopard, is Unix certified. I'd imagine that the big reason that FreeBSD hasn't done this yet is: It costs a lot of money. That said, if in theory one were to try to get the operating system certified (say, to increase awareness and market share versus the penguinistas)... a) approximately how much money is "a lot"? and b) How far short, technically, does FreeBSD fall from the standard (we'll ignore operational semantics for the time being) -Dan -- "It's like GTA, except you pay for it, and you're allowed to use the car." -Josh, on Zipcar on-demand car-rental, 3/20/05 --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
