Well, this is pretty unsubstantiated...it doesn't automatically follow that because they forked from FreeBSD 4 they will retain all the characteristics of FreeBSD 4. After all, they're mostly focusing on reimplementing the changes made in FreeBSD 6 along different (and sometimes the same) lines. Perhaps they'll end up with something better, but that remains to be seen. Kris
