I suppose, if the Gentoo/BSD project brings the stability of Gentoo to the name BSD, we might expect FreeBSD's reputation to be unfairly tarnished by association. On the other hand, just as Firefox has proven to be sort of a "gateway drug" for people on MS Windows who are encouraged to try something new (and open source) for an OS as well, I suppose Gentoo/BSD might bring more intelligent people who have something valuable to contribute to the world of FreeBSD, with only a brief stop in the land of Gentoo/BSD. I guess time will tell. -- Chad Perrin [ content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] Quoth Paul Graham: "Real ugliness is not harsh-looking syntax, but having to build programs out of the wrong concepts."
