Oh, puh-leaze. "Linux will save the world!". What do you call NetBSD
and FreeBSD? Please don't try to evangelize the discussion when it
was specifically targeted at BSD OS's.
CSRG was closed because they simply didn't have the time or desire to
continue trying to raise donation money while trying to write a
superior operating system. Various members have gone on to BSDI
(BSD/386), and/or other activities. I'm sure someone else would be
able to speak more authoritatively about this, considering the
readership of this group.
