Here is something I've been thinking about for some time now. I *love* the new features and splitting edge technology that NetBSD is currently offering, but I don't like having something that is 'iffy' or 'unstable'. Perhaps the FreeBSD team would be better suited to say, pick up releases of NetBSD and release a NetBSD 0.9s for stable. You know, just pick the bugs out of the NetBSD releases. The problem with NetBSD is, the next release cures most if not all of the bugs in the previous release, but it adds 'xxx' feature that has bugs of it's own... It would be nice to have NetBSD features, and FreeBSD stability... /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/ I N N O V A T I V E D A T A S E R V I C E S \/ /\ ================================================= /\ \/ Hardware/Software Sales & Service /\ Complete Networking Solutions \/ /\ Virus Removal & Prevention \/ Remote System Administration /\ \/ Contract Programming & Consulting /\ Internet Service Provider \/ /\-------------------------------------\/-----------------------------------/\ \/ 22290 Green Hill, Suite #42 /\ Phone: (313)478-3554 \/ /\ Farmington Hills, Michigan 48335 \/ Fax: (313)478-2950 /\ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
