No idea. We use it at Suso, so I wanted to get to know it better. I
prefer to try the product without know what soap operas are going on
between developers. I watched some of that go on with FreeBSD in the
past and it just depressed me and took me away from learning the system.
A good sign that sometimes you need to socialize at the local pub and
not via IRC.

Course a look at history has shown that, in the BSD world atleast, a
difference of opinion can bring about some nice projects such as Theo
being booted from NetBSD and starting OpenBSD and Matt Dillon starting
Dragonfly BSD after not liking the roadmap for FreeBSD 5.

Thank you,
Scott Blaydes
