I'm an 'end user' of OpenBSD... running it on three servers. I consider myself a peripheral member of the OpenBSD community, whether anyone else does, or not. My primary contributions to the community, because I am pretty much a newbie, and not a user, are: 1) ask whatever questions I must, as intelligently as possible, and as I acquire more knowledge, to answer the questions that are posted to misc@ by newbies newer than myself, as accurately as possible, and... 2) contribute financially. I'm not in the least averse to throwing down some cash, for a product that does what it does as well as OpenBSD, and I am also perfectly willing to do as much homework as necessary... almost completely on my own... to really, really, really learn what I am doing, and eventually be in a position to actively contribute to the project substantially. I figure that when I have earned respect... it will be given. -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/
