I hardly think that Dag's coherent rebuttal regarding a few points he disagrees with and a readers mail to advocacy@, while digesting your article, demonstrate how aggressive FreeBSD developers can be, as you state in that post. It seems more like legitimate debate going on to me ;-) FYI, the FreeBSD Foundation has not yet signed off on the Flash re-distribution agreement with Adobe and there is no guarantee that they will. While I don't see any strong reasons why it shouldn't be signed, installing Flash on FreeBSD is painless and there might not be a great deal of reasons to change the way the system currently works. best, -matt -- Matt Olander CTO, iXsystems - "Servers for Open Source" http://www.iXsystems.com Public Relations, The FreeBSD Project http://www.FreeBSD.org BSD on the Desktop! http://www.pcbsd.org Phone: (408)943-4100 ext. 113 Fax: (408)943-4101 --
