Although I agree about the meaning of "eudaemonia", the link and association with STABLE and/or CURRENT is at least far-fetched :P Can we all move on and do better things that argue about demons, daemons, evil or good spirits, the religious beliefs of everyone, and other such not-really-beneficial-for-FreeBSD things? If some of you want to help us improve FreeBSD, then stop arguing about religious and spiritual things and prove you can do something with a "real" impact on the current stateof FreeBSD, such as: - Submit a fix for one of the existing bugs - Improve an existing feature - Add new features - etc. Regards, Giorgos
