Is there any thing for me to be paranoid about? Will FreeBSD be there 5-10-15 years from now? I use the Linux as my other OS but hope that FreeBSD (my OS of choice) will still be around. The power,flexibly and License make it my choice.Is there anything we can do as a community to keep BSD around? ( I buy all my BSD CDs and rarely down load any iso images I also own several t-shirts) I think the thing that we forget is that for some of us, this is the only and best avenue to take, I mean where else can a person get source code (with out all kinds of politics) and a great OS at the same time? I just hope that Wind River keeps a hands off kind of attitude towards FreeBSD. Just how much of FreeBSD destiny is tied to Wind River anyway? Well these are alot of questions and I don't even know if I'm addressing the right person. If not (SORRY!) could you forward this to the appropriate person? To wrap this up I and a number of my collages didnt finish our college degrees, and FreeBSD and other Open Source OS's have helped us immensely in learning and keeping up it with System architecture as well as a good programming environment.
