Build it and they will come. You could make arguments about the relative merits of the GNU C library vs. the BSD C library, but to all but the most particular, it doesn't matter very much. I for one would be delighted to have the debian package infrastructure with, say, a NetBSD kernel. [Especially if I could have it on a VAX.] I suspect, if it is presented to them correctly (i.e., functioning), many of the people in the BSD camp would gladly abandon their "pure" distributions to get apt and all it implies. kcr
