I second that. The main reason I don't go to the clinics anymore is
because they're not very focused ... That, and I'd rather be hacking
than talking about it ;)

I just finished porting cdrchive -> http://www.drahthaar.clara.net/cdr.html
to OpenBSD. cdrchive is a qt-based cdrecord/cdda2wav/mkisofs frontend.
The code's a heck of a lot nicer than xcdroast, but it could use some work.
The author has no intentions of adding any new features to the code, the
1.2.2 release is the "final release". Anyhow, I think it would be a
nice project, to port it to all the other BSDs, and to produce packages
for the Linux distros ... Just a thought.

Maybe once we get it together, eug-lug will have non-prof status, and eug-lug
can rent use of the beast, to fund other projects ... Just a thought.

I assume by 'distro', that you really mean 'Open Source Operating System'?
I've already started on my OpenBSD arguments/demonstartions ;>
