Yea I ust never really got into the NetBSD thing. In mean, I don't HATE
NetBSD, I just don't care about it.

Agree :) I like how FreeBSD managed to make a system that was actually
USABLE and ALSO secure. I mean, if you're not sure, you can look
something up and learn how to do it in a very short time due to the
great docs, and the great books.

Oh I know! It amazes me just how Talented he is. And of course being
very friendly. I was actually nervous about meeting him because, you
know, when you meet a hero, you worry about people who talk about Glenn
Danzig being a Jerk sometimes and it ruins it for you, but he's a
really nice guy. I didn't have a whole conversation or anything, but he
was very nice to me, and I was glad he wasn't pissed about the long ass
email I sent so it was nice :)
