That'd be leetness, which would be some term that teenage males use to measure the amount of hair on their genetalia. There are BSD fanatics like the Linux ones. A little few and far between since FreeBSD usually doesn't compile the latest and greatest of nukers and spoofers and such.. This is a selling feature (that it doesn't), but also it's a bad thing if you're looking at userbase. Yeah you could say "Well we have the Ritz Carlton of users, only the best", or you can say "We have the most". I guess it's really how badly you want users. People using things for bad application gets more media attention than good it seems. ...Everybody wants to be somebody... --- Drew "Droobie" Baxter Network Admin/Professional Computer Nerd(TM) OneEX: The OneNetwork Exchange, Bangor Maine USA http://www.droo.orland.me.us PGP ID: 409A1F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
