I did not detect excessive ego also. (The contents of the discussion were private), and he did seem to be open to new ideas. The only major thing that I have a problem with on Linux, is that a lot more technology could have been legally borrowed from other places, but that was probably not his purpose. I don't necessarily call that NIH. So many times, the validity of criticism is short-lived. The BSD networking code is good, and the Linux stuff will probably soon catch up. On FreeBSD, we are working on adding new features and making the system run better -- isis the beauty of competition.) John dyson@implode.root.com
