I've been really impressed on how FreeBSD is managed: people pay nothing (do you consider $14.95 more than nothing?) to receive at their homes a copy of a BSD Unix, and then they pay nothing (in the real meaning of "not a single dollar") to have FREE, QUICK and EASY assistance from THE CORE TEAM developing the system. Whoelse gives you such a service? Why we shouldn't pay for this? Where is it written that we have to be fully assisted for free? If we need/want the -stable not to die we have to pay. So let's pay and stop wasting bandwidth on the net with this subject. -- Beck-Peccoz Amedeo GEA Software S.r.l.
