Inspired by the 3945634956295425258695 Linux distributions currently on offer and seeing the relative ease with which DragonFly got off the ground, it would appear, a few kids are trying to sell Free/DragonFlyBSD without adding a huge amount: http://www.crescentanchor.com/ My favourite bit is with the Gold edition you get all those lovely languages that are simply just too expensive to get hold of for humble FreeBSD. I seem to remember seeing a couple of outfits like this a few years back. Where did they all go? Did some gullible purchasing officer get suckered in, order 100 server licenses and the kids ran off with all the money? -- Paul Robinson http://www.iconoplex.co.uk/ "All I know is I'm not a Marxist" - Karl Marx
