FreeBSD is a complete operating system _derived_from_ the Berkeley Software Distribution that used to be available from the now-defunct UCB CSRG. The "BSD" in FreeBSD acknowledges its roots. And on-topic - yes, the timing sucks (especially since I'm one of the people reading this on the Saturday commencing a long holiday period) but I think the SO made the right call. Hopefully, this was all that was holding up 9.0-RELEASE and RE will be giving us a more welcome Xmas present. -- Peter Jeremy
