Exactly. I am working on trying to convince several people to go to 386bsd instead of BSD/386; a couple of them have replied that they will go to BSD/386 because they're pissed at wfj. Face it, BSDi has a lot going for their product: timely updates, helpful programmers, committed support, helpful installation, etc. 386bsd doesn't have any of that, plus it has a couple of people who have, at times, seemed bound and determined to inject as much poison as possible into the arena -- which most people do *NOT* want. >i've a question for you: >is anyone with even a slightly different set of goals than your >own necessarily "not on your side"? Such as me, for example? Who has been accused of wanting to see free software fail, and of being a ``judas'' in the employ of BSDi? ><sigh> I agree. I'd hoped it had all been done with, but that appears to not be the case. I'll be the first to admit I'm uneasy about some of the things happening with or around BSDi, but at least they can be talked and reasoned with. *sigh*
