	I still think that a system that provided the stability 
	of a BSD kernel with the rest Debian would be the winner for a 
	network service OS.  Also that it is not going to get done unless
	and until 3 or 4 people go off in a huddle and just-do-it.

	Too many folks have time to exercise the jaws to flame whoever
	steps beyond their ideas, and little else.
