I read carefully all your emails, and all the answers to your email. There was no unfriendliness inside. Everyone read and answer you, in a good way (which is better than being ignored). There is something to do, when you try to enter a community, first is to read and listen, then understand how it is working. OpenBSD community seems to be unfriendly at first sight, but if you read carefully everything, they are the opposite of unfriendly. They work together, like a big family, answering quickly as they can do to request, and they make a very good job. I don't event know how they can do this job which seems to be so difficult for me, but may be, one day, i will be able to answer myself to some technical discussion. So before you go to Gentoo, juste take time to read an article written by Mr Nick Holland (i am quoting you again Nick ;) ): http://www.holland-consulting.net/tech/ocep/index.html#svcactive It's a very old article, but i think there is many important things inside that are always available. Read carefully the OpenBSD philosophy part, Nick is not the Philosophier of the project, but he is right on a lot of thing. So, first i would like to excuse myself for my poor english. I am a french guy, and i know there is many grammatical abuse in my mail, and i know how it is "eye hurting" for english people to read me. Regards, and thank to everyone who is trying to make our OpenBSD better and better each days. May be one day, i will have sufficient technical level to bring my own stone to the project (but for the moment, i read the man pages ;) ). Nolan
