	I left out the last few words.  The Ubuntu group has what 
	feels to me a BSD-type feel to it.  They say up front that
	Linux is only the kernel-side to their effort, for one thing.
	For another, I believe that much of the Ubuntu people hold 
	a more mature view of things.  The last time I used real
	TM SysV UNIX was circa 1993, but the Ubuntu users haven't given
	me any snide remarks.  --That sort of thing.

	I'd very much like to see a Debian/NetBSD port continue--just
	because.  Debian seems a cut above the other Linux distributions.
	Barring that, I'll stick with FreeBSD  on my DNS server, and am
	very slowly making the transistion to Ubuntu on most internal
	servers.
