Hi All, browsing through Debian lists archives I uncovered a conspiracy: some time ago there was an attempt to get FreeBSD kernel into Debian. It was lead by a Polish gentleman if I am not mistaken. It was anathemised, most of all by J Goerzen (sp?). Main arguments were licensing issues and jeopardising the whole FSF movement whatever that meant... looked more like "not made here" and "who's in control" issue to me, but I am no expert on any OS :) which brings me to the perversed in me: could fine people in FreeBSD labour camp port apt-get from Debian? It seems to be much more convenient. (I did not imply superior, since I don't understand innards well).If I missed advantages of the exisiting system, I am sorry and apologise for my ignorance. Best to All P.S. btw, the same proponent of FSF purity is a lead in Progeny project now - different century and new economy I guess. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
