A kind offer, and much better than nothing. I think more like Nx1000 Euros cash would be a more realistic offer. Maybe a kickstarter campaign or similar to fund it? If all the Dell server managers clubbed together, I bet they could easily find that much. Alternately persuade the FreeBSD foundation to put their focus behind it. - Mark _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
