Well thats easy for you to say because you don't use them but I _love_
those programms and I love OpenBSD. And Dan also is an OpenBSD user
but he is also tearing it all appart. I mean he has got good ideas but
he only finishes it half.

I mean there is a convention where to put files in Unix. And he has
just invented a new convention. That is ok but he should have a new OS
for that convention. He should not force Unix-users to break this
convention without having an alternative.

Dan I know you are lurking out there. Please begin with DJB-OS. I will
be the first to use it.
And please deliver packages for unixusers. Not everybody is ready for
such a big step. Lots off packages have to be converted.

Just my .009 Euro


Han.
