Re: Debian GNU/BSD Project Goals

["Nathan Hawkins" <utsl@quic.net>]

Agreed except for s/NetBSD/FreeBSD/g in my case. NetBSD has nothing I'm 
really interested in, while FreeBSD does.

It might be reasonable to just work on both, and see what happens. I expect 
that any work done on one would probably be at least somewhat helpful to the 
other.
