Hi Guys, Iw as wondering how I would even go about starting a project 
like this using FreeBSD as I know even less than I do about Linux (not 
much) but I really rate SME and would love to see a FreeBSD version as
FreeBSD seems even more suited to this type of thing (ie a stable distro 
to base a good project on:)

Did you get round to checking out SME ?
