I sent them an e-mail about this a few months ago, but they just sent
back some automated response. I'll try again in a little while.

I would find that interesting. I am serious about the ``BYU Linux/BSD
Users Group'' proposition though; if that would most accurately
represent the membership, I would not be opposed to it.

I am impressed with OpenBSD's security record and its stability; I may
even install an OpenBSD server/firewall sometime in the next year. I
would probably never use it as a desktop system though, especially
with the advancements in the 2.5 Linux kernel and the number of
drivers now available for Linux. But I digress :-)
