I don't think there are enough resources to do something like this. How can someone predict what support you want in your servers? If you want your own kernel, build it yourself.. Or build your own kernel/config file and use it across all the servers assuming they're similar. I don't think the FreeBSD team should have to have 10 different maintained kernel builds just to satisfy everyone. Cheers, -JD- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rev.
