Unless we do show interest how in the hell ID is going to know that FreeBSD users are interested in running DOOM. Not that it matters anymore. According to ID it was not a matter of numbers, David Taylor did the linux port just for the sheer fun of it and to learn more about the OS. His post was after a series of requests to port Doom or to have one of the FreeBSD developers port Doom. Now you can go back to sleep and don't forget to never let a vendor know about FreeBSD :) Amancio -- FREE unix, gcc, tcp/ip, X, open-look, netaudio, tcl/tk, MIME, midi,sound at freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD Amancio Hasty, Consultant Home: (415) 495-3046 e-mail hasty@netcom.com
