Hello everybdody
I read an interview of Linus Torvald made by Linux Magazine. In that interview Linus mentioned the following:
"On the other hand, no, Linux does not have that stupid notion of having totally separate kernel development for different issues. If you want a secure BSD, you get OpenBSD; if you want a usable BSD, you get FreeBSD; and if you want BSD on other architectures, you get NetBSD. That___s just idiotic, to have different teams worry about different things."
I dont want to critize what Linus stated above. However, I find a very valid point when he says that every BSD version team is woking in different directions.
My question is this:
Why not all three teams work together for just one BSD version?
At the moment there are three groups of developers and users working in the same issues. I think if we should all work together and create well rounded BSD version for us users and corporate clients. Imagine a BSD version that is portable (NetBSD), that is very secured (OpenBSD) and that is a good Destop solution (FreeBSD).
At the risk of really *being* a troll, I'll philosophize apart from the technical world for a moment.
Some people are born, grow up, and when the time is right, based on love, respect, and trust, they start a family. (You can view ours under /usr/share/misc/ on most systems).
Others are born, grow up, discover they are popular and fsck around with anyone who'll have them. They say that it's more fun, and maybe it is for a while; nature takes its course and the seeds scatter where they may....
On one hand you'll usually (rules exist to prove exceptions, right?) have a relatively small group of well-adjusted individuals after several years.
On the other, you'll have a legions of messed-up bastardized malcontents.
Draw your own conclusions....

P.S. I have nothing personal against Linux, Mr. Torvalds, or $name_here. It's just that I'm a family-oriented person ;-) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
