I am looking for more information so I can choose a XXXbsd
system to use.  Most of the comparisons I have seen listed 
have been of the "which is better" varitity.  This has been 
no help to me, and has created much flamage.  What would
help (me at least) is statement of direction from each of
the xxxbsd groups.  I am much more interested in where each
group will be going than where they think they are compared
to the others.  I also beleive this might be good info for the 
FAQ as it would give differences in concept of the groups.  
This might reduce the trafic about group mergers and provide
us all with a better and more positive understanding of the
differences. 

I know this may be a volatile subject, but I believe all the 
xxxbsd groups would probably agree on the differences in their
goals.  

I would like to thank all the the groups and assorted individuals
who have created so much quality software. The luxury of having
so much choice is amazing. The quality of it makes it difficult
to pick.
