And a damn fine variant it is and will be =) Sorry, but yer vision of picoBSD is slightly out of sync of what we're trying to achieve. Surely picoBSD (Andrzej is still keen on PicoBSD ;) will target for embedded hardware, but in fact as the project is unvolving we're going towards a modular package which can be used with embedded devices as well as yer average 386, 486, old pentium with little memory use. But mayhaps Andrzej can provide us with the latest perspective of what picoBSD will be... > Maybe we need to come up with a special category for these: "FreeBSD > Inside" or "Built on FreeBSD." Anything built using picoBSD would > obviously qualify. I think stuff like the Whistle InterJet and the Pluto Space are more a hw/sw combination. picoBSD is a full sibling of FreeBSD, shall we say the little brother/sister? =) --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven/Asmodai asmodai(at)wxs.nl Junior Network/Security Specialist FreeBSD & picoBSD: The Power to Serve...
