But i guess you need a discussion on development direction first.
As mentioned OBSD has a strong hand on security. FBSD used to be
talked about as technically superior to linux. I dont hear much 
about that lately.  Does FreeBSD choose to be "Laptop Friendly" or
will FreeBSD keep the "Power to Serve"-only attitude. Like in an
earlier discussion there was talk about FreeBSD does not choose to
be a Desktop OS.  If advocacy can only be driven in the server-only
direction its not gonna spread that well. 
Thats is ofcourse if you choose such growth.. Choices.. Choices..

Regards,

Joao
