Yes, the base products are from other teams, but there is a very clear value-add that FreeBSD provides by integrating recent versions of their products and applying FreeBSD-specific patches to them so that they will interoperate best with the OS. When you do the above and generate a CD-ROM from the output, the result is clearly a FreeBSD product. Heck, I doubt that any of those binaries would even begin to run with any other OS, even another flavour of BSD on the same hardware platform. That's about as FreeBSD-specific as you can get. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
