The correct term would not be another version, but simply modularity =) And FWIW, we currently deploy three FreeBSD boxen as Desktops, five as servers, and one still undefined...

That was cruel, I love it =) But to address something one can see from the details you provide, there is also a large number of people who want Linux for it being Linux and the whole craze around. That is something we don't aspire to, I hope, for most people on the lists here care to use FreeBSD because of their experience with other OS's and see FreeBSD being better on most, if not all, fronts. --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven join #FreeBSD on Undernet asmodai(at)wxs.nl Time is merely a residue of Reality...
