Maybe we can > use it to get native Oracle :) Right on! Now it would of been cooler if he had said we were in the running and oh yeah were releasing the FreeBSD port of Oracle to FreeBSD just to take that many more sales away from MS. But being in the running and having him acknowledge us is a bonus for sure. Linux im not worried about, the GPL is its own worst enemy in the commerical world. Now netbsd and solaris is a bit different. Maybe it's time that the FreeBSD Mafia paid a nice friendly visit to Mr. Ellison and made him an offer he can't refuse :-) Chris -- "You both seem to be ignoring the fact that the networking market is driven by so-called 'IT professionals' these days, most of whom can't tell the difference between an ARP and a carp." --Wes Peters ===================================| Open Systems FreeBSD Consulting.
