And in the article the author is requesting additional information about *BSD. A small excerpt from the article: "The three pages are somewhat incomplete at the moment, but they will be expanded in the next few days with the addition of historical releases, as well as their respective development trees, updated daily. Other information will also be added - if you know of any related web sites and resources, recent reviews and other useful information, please mention them in the forum below, or email me directly. I have to admit that I never really used any BSD distribution and I would welcome some information about things like multilingual support, journaled file systems and any information missing from the tables. Are there any BSD-specific packages that would be useful to track? If so, mention them and I'll do my best to include them in the tables. Other BSD projects listed on this page will also be included in due time." I will be making suggestions a little later today, can anyone else lend a hand? I think that this would be some great exposure (imho). Pete __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I agree 100% about softupdates. Off the top of my head, I can think of 3 file systems for FreeBSD. FFS FFS2 XFS (port in the works if I remember corretly).

Reason I ask is I've been long hoping to do a BSD conference in Munich Germany sometime, but the local Universities want lots of money, & as soon as money raises it's head, it's a nightmare: got to collect it, secure it, pay it to halls & maybe speakers expenses, & levy sales tax on admission fees, not make a profit or loss, all a right pain ! - Julian Stacey.
