Why on earth, out of the many people that use NetBSD : and FreeBSD, did no one cry out for our very own version of DooM?!? Am I : [...] : I agree. It's sad that all the lamerz whining "why don't you write : stuff for linux?? it's the k00lest thing ever!" always make so much : noise that people do stuff for them just to quiet them down. Just Ummmm.. One of the ID people posted quite a while back (actually, cross-posted to the Linux and 386bsd groups) and said he wanted to do ports to various machines and needed people to lend him hardware/software to do the port. He then re-posted a while later saying that he'd gotten machines from SGI and DEC and someone had sent him a Linux box. He said he hadn't heard a word from the *BSD camps and was sorry but he wouldn't be doing a *BSD port. : Definitely. Let's get all the *BSDers together and do a mail blitz! Please don't bother the nice man. It would seem you've already had your chance. -- hpeyerl@novatel.ca | NovAtel Communications Ltd. hpeyerl@fsa.ca | <nothing I say matters anyway> "A sucking chest wound is nature's way of telling you to slow down."
