I think Chris's statement a silly thing to say. Have your heard the phrase, "If my aunt had a package, she'd be my uncle" ? rcng doesn't have these things. Until it does, it's not in the same conversation. Saying it would be equal if it had these things means nothing. What's a monster? Something built as a cohesive synergist service, so something patched together over decades similar to Frankenstein? (I'd also like to know how SMF = monster. no need to justify launchd as most linux distros don't even like it from what I can tell.) John
