Someone else mentioned that there isn't even real information who sells palladium, but I don't think this was the information the original poster was looking for (at least I don't). The strongest objection against palladium was based on its concept and user interface. So what *is* its concept and user interface? The debate about palladium seems a bit weak as (except one person) nobody in this group (comp.unix.bsd) seems to know how palladium really looks like and how it works. -- Juergen Nickelsen
