To the second point, I think there is still far too much politics between these groups from what I have reading between the lines. This is always unfortunate. In defense of the Dragonfly project I can somehow understand their situation--as I am sure time is a rare commodity there as well. I have been promising a lot of the same stuff for some time. I have been throwing "small pieces of meat" out so that hopefully the impression of vaporware does not fall to me as well. > > Reminds me very much of MOSIX which I've always > found to be cool stuff > but regrettably there's no FreeBSD version of it > (and I surely can't > be bothered to use Linux on a server, again). Funny as originally I am told that it began as a patch for BSDI! (which is the cousin of FreeBSD). When I was still somehow on communications terms with Frank from NetBSD (owner i386 port) I was told that he even still had the patches somewhere. It would be nice to get some of the European users that are close to me together to really get some momentum here. I live in Southwest Germany, near the French border (5 KM from here). I would also entertain the idea of a visit to the UK. Cheers Andy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
