I'd say that is stretching the truth just a bit too much. You might be able to argue that being the case with NetBSD (cgd's arguments with Bill being well known and public), but "personality" conflicts with Bill were certainly not what FreeBSD grew out of. In fact, we gave Bill every last chance to lead and he chose not to, but we certainly didn't form in spite of him or due to any argument with him. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
