Other than the part about "for free" and "help us fix the inevitable bugs", the rest of this section, IMHO, applies perfectly to most software, in particular to Washington state originated operating systems. I don't see what is particularly wrong with that approach...but if you have a closed source system, the minorities that WANT a difference (be it bug fixed, feature, you name it) would have almost no way to make those differences a reality. Mr. Shih, if you believe that FreeBSD is not for you, please go ahead and use something else. It is *YOUR* system we are talking about after all :) btw, WHY did you try FreeBSD to begin with? just curious :) regards, Beto --
