And On a slightly related issue, it sure would be nice to be able to even find out what's coming up in -current! Linux Weekly News (http://lwn.net) is a great resource for keeping up-to-date with the latest Linux developments. I visit weekly, even though I don't have a Linux box. Something similar for FreeBSD would be great! As a general observation it seems that the FreeBSD community as a whole are far less inclined to tell the outside world about their achievments. Of course I'm not advocating a genesis of a new breed of one-eyed zealots, such as the Amiga users back in the '80s, the Guy Kawasaki Mac-Nazis or the more extreme of the Linux crowd (or, Dog help us, the NT fanatics for that matter :). FreeBSD is still the great undiscovered secret of the times. It would be a pity for it to stay that way. Just some unwanted opinions from someone on the fringes....
