Demetriou) writes: you've not tried NetBSD-current lately on a 'serious' system, have you? we're more stable than they are, and we *have been* for a while. (I'd say we were "more stable" when 0.9 came out, but that's not a fair comparison; they'd not done a release yet! however, we killed a couple of real *killers* right before 0.9 that i know they've not killed yet, because i get get their commit messages via e-mail, in the same way that many of them get ours.) And if you believe all that, I have a bridge I think you'd be really interested in! Both groups are making a number of strides forward, and someone like Chris is as qualified to speak on our behalf as we are to speak on his. It's also sad when someone abuses their position on our commit lists to publically denigrate us. Enough. Jordan -- (Jordan K. Hubbard) jkh@violet.berkeley.edu, jkh@al.org, jkh@whisker.lotus.ie
