    Touche...

    Now lets talk about whose codebase is legally in windows. It must cry with joy that without the BSD code, windows and AOL users wouldn't have any decent networking.

    The rest of us just cry


    Edit: Sorry, can you ignore the word decent in the above paragraph

    Nahh, the only ones that say Nazi are the windows users, usually they claim that their IT managers or l33t developers while they call you it.

    Things 'within the family' are far more vicious and inteligent than anything a windows user could come up with before their machine crashes. :D

    But maybe the BSD crowd could answer me a question, why do you need the linux binary support layer?

    :ducks volly of bullets and knives:

    Erm, to run the vast amount of software available for linux, with no speed hit. Wonder where linux originally got its networking code from? Also worth noting that boards.ie runs on freebsd..

    That looks like Jon Hall . Met him at the ICT Expo earlier this year. Great fun to talk to.
