The primary motivator behind the FreeBSD effort (and I suspect the NetBSD : effort, though I'll let them speak for themselves) is not a moral duty : to Do The Right Thing, as you would have us do. It's to have fun. Sheesh. Then go do it and stop talking about it. You have different goals than I. I want a platform that I can depend on being there for a while, not one that will get locked up and bloat and die as soon as it gets to a useful state. You want a toy, I want a dependable operating system. So if you want to go play, then go play. I want to convince people that they have a vested interest in making sure that their computing platform isn't constantly being changed at the whim of some MBA. -- --- Larry McVoy (415) 390-1804 lm@sgi.com
